I've had a Wave for 2 years or so now and have been thinking seriously about getting a Hobie 16. has anyone else gone through this transition? i'm looking for more performance, fun, and thrill. i know the Wave is simplistic and almost indestructible, but i think my skills have improves to the point where i'd be able to appreciate a more challenging but more rewarding cat. i've read phil berman's book on cat sailing so have some book knowledge on how travelers, jibs, traps, etc work.
if anyone has made the same move, i'd love to hear your story, but of course all you others who love sailing your 16, tell me what you love and crave most about the 16. what makes it so addictive? =)
thanks in advance!
-Will
