I used to sail a Hobie, years back. Yes, I have pitchpoled it. Ouch.
I gave them up in favor of sailboards at the time, because I was
interested in going real fast, and I got fewer, smaller bruises hitting
the spars on a sailboard.
I think Hobies are great in light to medium wind. Maybe its just my
memories of insane speed sailing on them, but I guess I'd rather have a
singlehull.
