Summer camp in Maine in the early 70's. The camp was on Walker Pond in Brooksville, Maine, with access to Penobscot Bay. My dad taught me to sail in Shinnecock Bay in Long Island.. and yes, I enjoyed a neighbor's 16' Hobie... they're so amazingly lively and fun, especially when you're standing on the side of the windward hull hanging off the trapeze, screaming "Wahoooooo!!"
I learned to sail a Hobie 16 on Katama Bay on Martha's Vineyard. Almost flat water, with lots of wind coming over the low dunes. Great place to fly a hull. Almost no chance of burying one (but still easy to go over sideways if you're not careful!). "Wahoooooo!!" indeed.
