In general, how would you think the Bravo compares to the Hobie 14 turbo at
various wind speeds like 5 mph and 10 mph and 15 mph? What’s your guess?

Not even close. No comparison.

Thanks for your fast reply, Tom K.
So, I assume the Hobie 14 without a jib would be much faster than a Bravo, also. Is that correct?

I've sailed a Bravo. It's a fun little boat. But it's nowhere near the speed of the bigger cats, 14, Wave, and of course the bigger boats.
