Hi to All, My names Moe I currently live in Dubai, UAE and I am intrestead in purchasing a catamaran, after reading many posts on the internet and renting different sailboats to try out and feel. I fell in love with a Hobie 16 is what I can see myself sailing off the beach with the wife out untill sunset or take my little daughter out with us when the the winds are calm and see her playing on the tramp wuth her mother.

I quickley learn thoughts like this makes up addicted to the sea in a different way, my sailing experiance is very limited with these type of sailboats yes I have sailed toppers,and lasers but thats when I was 15 years old so I am trying to get as much experiance over the summer for when my family comes back frin vacation I can surprise them with a new sport we can all enjoy.

finding a new Hobie 16 here in Dubai, UAE is a nightmare as most people are out for the summer and everyone tells me its hard to find a 2nd hand Hobie. I also fear prices are going to be very high in this part of the world.

Hobie dealer is charging: $13700 USD for a new 16
Still no 2nd hand ones for sale of any year but I recone they will vary from $3000+

JamieZX can u tell me your experiance in sailing and owning a hobie in this part of the world.

nice place for information
thanks
moe
