Here is some footage of my recent 8 day camp/sailing adventure around the Whitsunday Islands on my Hobie 16, accompanied by a couple of mates on their Calypso 16s.

In the tent Most of the footage was shot without the food/water/camping gear aboard. The last capsize shot shows all the gear stowed in dry bags on the tramp

Kite is awesome, totally transforms the boat downwind. Add a bit of extra drag upwind but not noticeable unless full on racing. Contrary to the footage it is quite easy to sail with as well, we only capsize or pitchpole when showing off for the camera!
