I want to add one different perspective. Let me first say that I have owned a H14(twice) TheMightyHobie18 Nacra 5.2 and Nacra 5.8(twice). I currently have my second H14 and 5.8. I use the H14 single handed on 12+knot days, and my 5.8 on 5-15knot days. The 5.8 is responsive, rudders kick up reliably (sandbars), built like a tank, goes on and off the trailer at Willoughby boat ramp in Norfolk easily, and is comfortable with myself (185lb) or with family. Only problem I have is mast is a bit heavy to put up single handed. Hobie 14 is easy to muscle around in high winds and great for poking around in creeks and small rivers on lazy days. I can have H14 launched and sails up in 15 min. after getting to boat ramp.

Not exactly high tech. , but works for me. It would be nice to see a cat fleet like wrcra in the tidewater area.
