Dragoon: I also know nothing. It sounds really hot as a beginner boat.
re: dragoon
sounds like a great boat...
won't really won't know til the spring, when I get to drive one...
There aren't very many of them is this country, though I get the impression it is doing well in Europe...
I have high hopes...
I really don't think the wave or getaway is the ticket, they are such cumbersome boats (an understatement)
that I wonder if important sailing principles can be understood on them...

Also, might I add, it is a fact (based on statements from multiple hobie dealers) that margins are higher on the plastic boats. This is of course from the dealers perspective, though based on what I know about the construction of boats, it is immesnsely cheaper to build a pvc type boat than a fiberglass boat. Plastic boats make up 80% of hobie cat's business (that is quoted from a hobie rep). Perhaps the reason they push these for beginners is $$ rather than honest guidance. I'm sorry, but all the plastic boats I've seen from hobie have been a f-ing joke. I think they are hurting the sport by pushing these...
Just my humble opinion...
