I love sailing my Hobie 16 but once again I find myself thinking about an upgrade.
Obviously the new boats are faster but are they more fun?
A boat without weather helm.
Screaming downwind without fear of stuffing the bow.
Tacking as easily as crawling to the far side of the boat.
But then...
There's the stuff, the strings, the expense, the breakage.
For me sailing has meant beach fires, beer, and naked women. Speed and thrills.
Somehow I doubt if all that comes with a new boat.
