Would I be crazy to buy a Hobie FX One?

We have a guy local that has a FX One and I believe he is a little older than 55. It seems like a great boat. He is typically very competitive. I would suggest you sail one before pulling the trigger. Try sailing a H16 also. I would say something with a carbon mast may be easier to handle in stepping and unstepping; but I have built systems to raise a mast singlehanded. Another thing to consider is your tinker to sail ratio with a boat.
