NACRAJON Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 After doing some research into my next beach cat I stumbled across the Hobie 21 Sports Cruiser. How many we're imported into Australia? I'm guessing it would be a limited market here. How much do they go for on the second hand market? Video on the boat at the link below, a pair of modified ones went around cape horn recently. http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=12782 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawky Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 i sailed a 21 when they first came out in Hawaii they had a bigger rig then the sports cruiser but could handle the out side conditions very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachingCardia Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Fairly limited over here, I did however see one for sale for $5500 in Darwin last September. I ended up buying the H18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobblyoldjimbo Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Couple of thoughts - 1. there's a Windrush 600 on Gumtree which could suit the bill, 2. I just happen to have a small Zodiac inflatable which I think would be much better than a kayak behind whatever you plan to cruise with.

NACRAJON Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 A Windy 600 is not my thing, if I were going that way I would have bought a Farrier. I've done a couple of trips around the Whitsundays on my Taipan (first shown in link below) http://catsailor.net/forums/showthread.php?4190-Taipan-4-9-Whitsunday-Islands-Cruise Now I'm sailing with my 7 yr old son, and I'm finding the Taipan is too flighty for him and I don't want to scare him and put him off. I was thinking a 21SC stacked on a trailer with a Maricat would be a good combination of boats. The 21 for days with the family and next camping trip when I had heaps of muscle to drag the beast up the beach. Possibly may go with a NACRA 5.0 but I don't know if I really will be happy with another board less NACRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NACRAJON Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 A Windrush 600 is not my style, I would rather have a Farrier. I'm still looking and thinking about various options. I sailed through the Whitsundays today for work on a 16000t ship and wished I was on a beach cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
