Hobie 17 for 145-180 kg doublehanded crews ? Are you serious ?

Lots of volume in the front ?

One can say alot of things about the Hobie 17 but this is really pushing the limit a bit.

Never mind that mast base boom that your crew is about to get to know more intimately with each tack. It is good for your limbo dance practice I'll admit to that.

Sorry, I guess I'll now be getting flamed by various sailors and branded a Hobie hater but advising the H17 for the stated use is just beyond belief. And YES, I've sailed the Hobie 17. It was designed as a singlehander and it is just that.
