About Scout

Scout is a 1983 Hobie 33 we found in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where she'd been lake raced by the previous owner for 30 years.

We never sailed her (or any Hobie 33!) before we made the purchase, one of many leaps of faith we've already made.

Lucky for us, she's light, fast, and fun. Look for us on the river!
