Sort of sucks now that they stopped making the Hobie 18, M, or SX. This is just one terrific, cruising boat. It takes a beating; can be launched and landed on the sand (The Tiger can't); and drives through the waves well. Put one or four people on it and you have a fun afternoon. I realize most of the TheMightyHobie18 Racers went up to the Tiger, but in about four more years when the present number of H18s start falling apart, I don't know where I'll go. I see nothing out there for us cruisers that want to hang around the beaches.
