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.

It is a fast boat if your good at sailing it. I have had my bravo for 4 years and coustomized everything. My favorite upgrades was an epo 3 and a new 4 way vang with a boom. I can do a tutorial on the vang if anyone need it. This was the fastest I could get it on camera. The wind was gusting 30 and in the video it was around 20. Hope this helps!
