Post subject:  21SC education required

It seems some boats, like the 18, have good years, better years, and best years. Are there any particular years to avoid or years when new features have been added?

I am currently shopping for a 21SC and could use some guidance from people who know. Has there been any design progression, or are the 2003 boats identical to the 1993s?

Does the 21SC have a self tacking jib?

Thanks for any and all help.

Design never changed.

Jib was rigged just like the 18.

Post subject:  finding a Hobie 21 SC

I think (from my own experience) that just finding one at a reasonable price is the key. My first SC came from Rochester NY, the second from Minn Mn. I live in southern Florida. I did help someone find a SC in Dallas after my second purchase. He took it to the Bahamas.
Good luck.

Matt, Thanks for the history, it opens the availablity picture a bit knowing they are all the same. Sounds like your team got it right the first time!

Jerry, If you run across any more out there, I would love to hear about them. Then perhaps we'll cross paths out there in the gulf sometime soon.

email me off line and let me know your range. I have noticed some for sale on the internet. I would be happy to help you look. Now is the time.
if you are in my neck of the woods stop by for a sail.

Thanks for the help. I'll send you an email. I would welcome hearing about any available SC's out there. Also, thanks for the offer of a sail. It's pretty cold up here in Indiana right now. The thought of warm sail on the Gulf sounds good. Not sure if/when I could get there though.

I had to drive 1200 miles r/t to get my SC.

There's a SE up for sale over on the Beachcats in California. Another SE in Jacksonville Fl on Craigslist. I swear I saw a SC on the net for sale recently too, but I can't remember where I saw it.

Ok, I found it. It's in Calif. too and is also n the Beachcats. Listed 11/08

1200 miles I would do. 5000 is a problem, although if it's a pristine boat at a bargain price and I don't see what I need closer to home, who knows?

Thanks for the tip on the boats you saw. I think my needs dictate an SC over an SE, even though more speed is always better.

Should you happen across any more, I would like to hear about them.
