An instant classic when Hobie released it - the Bravo is one of the simplest sailboats to sail on earth. A clever design provides stability for new and intermediate sailors - all with astonishing simplicity. With two lines and no boom, the Bravo is about spending your time on the water, not the beach. The Bravo is quick in a breeze, and is more responsive than larger catamarans. It’s exceedingly safe and easy for resorts, a family, or solo. For setup - the A-frame setup makes raising and lowering the mast easy. Then just unfurl the sail and you're off. The Bravo is a great platform to get into sailing, at an inexpensive price - with a lot more features than you would expect.
