Reply to: What's the difference

[quote=klozhald]They look the same, but: Boom on the 18 is elliptical with external outhaul in the kerf. Boom on the 18-2 is square, has internal 4:1 outhaul car and is slightly longer than the 18 due to the different sail. The 18-2 and the 19 share the same boom. Pin head sail is slightly bigger on the 18-2 as is the jib. The square top main that was an option on the 18-2 is a lot bigger, fewer battens and was a mylar laminate yet came with a dacron racing jib. 18 sail area with pinhead sails 218 sq ft 18-2 sail area with pinhead sails 233 sq ft Some of the differences are visually subtle, like the beams being 8 feet vs 8.5 feet, and the crossbars were drawn from the same extrusion, just longer. The 18-2 and 19 used many identical parts (trampoline, crossbars) but they were a true redesign from prior Prindles. I had a P16 for eight years and sailed on my friends 18 when I could. Aside from local lakes, I sailed it in the Pacific (So Cal), Sea of Cortez and Couer d' Alene Lake in Idaho. They are great boats, but I had to sell the 16 to buy the 18-2. Sheet In![/quote]
