Boat Review
Durability is what the Hornet is known for, with many still competing even though they are 18 years old. The Hornet is part of a restricted class so it can’t take advantage of the new modern building techniques and materials. An advantage of the restrictions is that the boats performance has been refined over many years. It is mainly the hull that is restricted; as the rig and deck can be modified slightly. A free choice of foils and spars means the class supports a wide spectrum of weights and strengths.
