The size and depth of the lake will be a deciding factor in this. If you looking for recreation use only then the Hobie getaway might be your best choice. The Hobie 16 has a large racing class is your wanting to test your skill again some of the best sailors. The down side to both of these boat is one person has a hard time righting them in case of a cap size. The Hobie 17 is a single-handed boat with room for company, especially if you get a jib! The FX-1 is a high performance single-handed racer. If you add jib and/or spinnaker along with a double trap your buddies will have a ride of there life! The FX-1 has boards so the depth of the lake may be to shallow for this one. Call me at the shop of you have any questions!
