Just had a little chat with some contacts in my cat-sailing network :

The Hobie special project is [color:"red"] NOT [/color] sailing of a rating of 81

Grapevine has it that is now listed as 88 (or 86 when I misunderstood my contact)

So the following specs :

145 kg
30 sq. mtr upwind on 10.5 mtr mast
31 sq. mtr. spi

As given by Dermot in This post look suspect.

It heard the rating measurement numbers and it is indeed a little heavier, less big in spinnaker area and my contact frowned upon hearing 30 sq. mtr. upwind area.

Somebody may have been a little too enthousiastic.
