The Hobie Dragoon is a specialized 12.83 ft catamaran designed and built by Hobiecat Europe, with production records indicating a build year of 2001. As a lightweight vessel with a displacement of 229.0 lb, it represents a niche entry in the micro-cruiser market, though specific total build counts are not definitively established in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for single-handers or couples seeking a portable, trailerable catamaran for protected coastal waters and bay cruising. Its fractional sloop rig with rotating spar and low draft of 0.72 ft make it ideal for shallow water exploration and easy transport.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 4.61 and a displacement of 229.0 lb, the Dragoon is not designed for offshore bluewater cruising but is suitable for short coastal passages in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other Hobie Cat models like the H18 or H20, as well as small trailerable catamarans from brands like Nacra or Lagoon's smaller line. These boats share similar roles in providing lightweight, easy-to-handle sailing experiences for recreational coastal use.
