[quote=Kenginnyd]I'd offer just a few additional comments. Regarding the H-14, for the receational sailor the Hobie Wave may be a better choice as it has much more hull volume. Sailing a H-14 with 2 people aboard makes it a semi-summersible sailing dog. On the H-16 singlehanded righting of a capasize is a challenge and real risk. There are righting devices, shround extenders and water bags but if it is blowing stink you may be in trouble before you can deploy a righting device. Single handed mast stepping of the H-16 doesn't require any extra gear. Simply step the mast in the normal fashion with a line tied to the forestay looped under the bridle and back to the tramp. Once the mast is vertical just snug this line and cleat it off. Then step down and put in your forestay pin. NaviGator[/quote]
