[quote=grayton_sailor]I have a bias on both my Hobie 16 and 18 and LOVE them much better than the old vinyl, or mesh that has center lacing. Vinyl is better in colder rougher water as it cuts down on spray BUT, the mesh provides a nice cooling spray in warm weather. 2) I think the vinyl is more slippery than the mesh. The lack of center lacing is the biggest bonus though. Less cost to replace lacing, less to keep tightened, and your sheets can't fall through.
Some regattas could care a less about it not meeting class specs.[/quote]
