About the HOBIE T2
Later company information indicates a beam of 8ft. Draft is with rudder up.
The Hobie T2 is a 16.0 ft fractional sloop designed and built by Hobie Cat between 2013 and 2018. With a displacement of 388.0 lb and a beam of 8.0 ft, this model represents a specific era of Hobie's production, though exact build counts remain unverified in the available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal day sailing and recreational use, leveraging its lightweight 388.0 lb displacement and shallow 0.83 ft draft for easy trailering and beaching.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 4.39 and a displacement of 388.0 lb, the T2 is not designed for offshore bluewater cruising but is stable enough for protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 16-foot fractional sloop designs from the same era, such as the Hobie 16 or similar small keelboats, due to their shared emphasis on performance sailing and manageable size.
