Well it's really dependent on conditions, if it's light Mk1 Mossie is much faster and if it's blowing (Hobie twin trapping) Hobie 16 is much faster. Somewhere in between they compete head to head whistle. But as Yardsticks are based on 15knot winds, the Hobie 16 is rated 1 point faster.

Mossie Mk2 is a closer comparison, a bit faster in light winds and only a bit slower in heavy winds, but currently rated 1/2 point faster. confused

Keeping in mind that Hobie 16's new Yardstick is 82.5
