Hobie cat for a workout

Can you use your Hobie 16 in such a way as to be strenuous eneough for a work out?

I see some people kick back and easy sailing and others make the ride look allot more exciting and strenuous

Pretty much every trip out on my h16 is a workout. I forgot to take water with me a couple times, totally regretted that mistake!

it is defenitly a workout. Really good upper body workout. Especially if you have to put up your mast each time you go out. I sailed a couple times a week for about a year and got really buff in the arms. Pulling in the mainsheet with a 5:1 system is not easy

thanks for all the help!

Well, that all depends. I consider myself to be in pretty good shape but find myself exausted every time I come off my boat. However, I must interject that I sail solo most of the time. Check out the link below and tell me if you think this would be a pretty good workout for you.

And if this doesn't do it for ya, try capsizing and righting it a couple of times during each sail. Let me know how it goes.
