Possible, but don't really know Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Tue, 7 Jun 2005 12:12:09 In Reply to: Re: Little-known Hobie issue to be aware of, JimBlake [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 7 Jun 2005 09:25:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I don't own a Hobie, but have rented/borrowed many. Perhaps they could be set up with the center of pressure aft, but out of the box it appears that the tall, front-mounted mast gets the sail caught in the wind and the boat will take off. On the other hand, this may be a "feature" that helps them go so quickly on a reach.
