Mylar Hobie 16 sails were offered for just a couple years in the 90's. We had a dacron cloth availability issue and the owners of Hobie Cat, at the time, were also trying to spice up the 16 a bit. We had to design the mylar sail to fit the standard battens and have performance very similar to the standard dacron versions. Never really went over and was cancelled shortly after. The sails were maybe better in stiff winds, but racers never really adopted them.
