Hobie Bravo hull on a launch dolly Hobie Bravo showing the single rudder configuration The Bravo is a recreational sailboat, with the dual hulls and cockpit made from rotomolded polyethylene and an aluminum rotating mast, supported by a bi-pod instead of standing wire rigging. It has a single square-topped, roller furling sail, a catboat rig with no boom and a mast-top mounted float to prevent turtling, that also acts as a wind indicator. The hulls have spooned plumb stems, vertical transoms, a single central skeg- mounted kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller and lack keels. This allows beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
