26 Knots on a Hobie 16… What It Feels Like (World Record?)
26+ knots on a Hobie 16 in flat water.
Possibly one of the fastest speeds ever recorded on this boat.
Onboard multi-cam footage with live commentary, filmed in Vassiliki, Lefkada, Greece, one of the world’s most reliable high-wind sailing locations.
This is what happens when the conditions line up: strong wind, flat water, and full commitment on a classic beach catamaran.
If you want to understand what high-speed sailing really feels like on a Hobie 16, this clip shows it clearly.
