The final race of the Hobie 16 International Championships—and we couldn’t have asked for a better start.
We came off the line strongly and sailed into FIRST PLACE. Then a major wind shift completely changed the race and dropped us into the back half of the fleet.
From there, it became a fight for...
After repeated delays at the Hobie 16 International Championships, Race Officer Mark Santorelli finally sent us onto the water when the breeze shifted into the southeast.
With just 3–6 knots of light, variable wind, we made a high-risk decision: start on port tack and try to reach the right-hand si...
How should you protect your Hobie 16 when you’re not sailing?
For regular summer use, a tramp cover may be enough. For longer periods ashore, full hull covers provide considerably more protection.

Day 3 of the Hobie 16 International Championships delivered one of the most difficult races I’ve ever sailed.
We launched into two exciting port-tack starts, but the first race didn’t go to plan. I completely misread the shifting breeze and we finished near the back of the fleet.
Race two was a co...

Day 2 of the first USA Wave GP in Pensacola, Florida. The wind went very light, making every start and every small decision count.

Come aboard for the best inside look at Day 1 of the first USA Wave GP in Pensacola, Florida.
I’m racing in a fleet of 30 sailors, with reaching starts, close battles,—and a mark-rounding incident that turned a possible race win into 11th place.
I called for mark room. The other sailor disagreed. ...
How fast is a Topcat K2X?
For my first sail on this unusual beach catamaran, we had 16–18 knots of wind, some seriously big waves and perfect conditions to discover what the K2X could do.
This particular boat is fitted with outrigger benches, creating a very different sailing position from a conve...

At Hilton Head, South Carolina, we’re setting up a unique new sail package created by Chris Picknally of Flying Fish Arts, representing the legendary Pool Bar Jim’s.

15 miles around Vassiliki Bay on the Hobie 16 — racing against other Hobie 16s, Tigers and a C2.
It started with some seriously fast sailing, but as the race developed the gusts and wind shifts made things increasingly difficult. Picking the right side became critical, and it all came down to an ex...
This Hobie 16 is from 2011 and has spent its life exposed to the brutal Greek sun — but it still looks remarkably fresh.
The secret? Keep the UV off it!
I’m trying out the trampoline and hull covers from Forward Sailing — protecting the trampoline, ropes, rubber and hulls, with the added bonus of ...

Day 1 of the 2026 Tornado European Championships at Lake Garda—and it wasn’t the start we wanted.
We completed three races in lighter wind than we had hoped for. There were some poor starts, a few bad tactical decisions and results that leave us with plenty of work to do.
But it wasn’t all bad. Th...
