light air boat
With regard to the J-80, I have never been especially impressed with them. I think they make reasonable boats for a sailing school or a one design fleet, but I don''t think that they make sense as PHRF boats.
As to the Hobie 33''s, they do not seem to be great light air boats. Because of their narow beam they also carry pretty small sail plans. They also have low ratings based on their moderate to high wind reaching/running ability. This combination seems to hurt them in the light stuff.
