Hobie T2    16' Beach Cat                                                                                                   $7,500

This boat was donated by a local family who have used it on Lake Winnipesaukee since it was new in 2014.  The kids have now left the nest, so it has seen little use in recent years.  It  is fully equipped and ready to go.

​​

The Hobie T2 was designed to bridge the gap between the ultra simple, entry level Hobie Wave and the larger, more social Hobie Getaway.  Comparing the T2 to its predecessor the Hobie 16, the T2 is more stable and more forgiving, while still providing an exhilarating ride!  Its 172 sq. ft. sail plan, 26'6" mast, 8-foot beam and twin trapezes give it considerably more performance potential than the Wave or Getaway.

The T2’s symmetrically shaped keels eliminate the need for daggerboards, and the boat’s built-in righting line and masthead “Hobie Bob” simplify righting maneuvers, should you accidentally discover the outside of the envelope.

From a review we found online . . .

​

The Hobie T2 is a highly successful exercise in balancing durability with genuine sailing excitement.  It is not a pure racing machine, nor is it a heavily loaded utility cat, but rather a robust, forgiving day-sailor that rewards active crew work with blistering reaches and stable hull-flying. Its rotomolded hulls remove the anxiety of beaching, making it one of the most practical family-oriented beach cats ever produced. For those looking to transition from slow resort monohulls to high-speed multihulls, the T2 stands as an exceptional and enduring option on the used market.
