[quote=shipchips1]If your new to cat sailing the Prindle 16 & 18 can't be beat for ease of use, especially in light wind, you will get used to the rudders. The Hobie 16 is good in light wind as well. The Hobie 18 adds not just the extra parts of the dagger boards but in light wind, even with the boards down they will slide sideways!! As I just found out last season! I had only sailed on P 16s & 18s & H 16s. It is nothing you can't learn to handle and I know better now, but if your new why add more to the learning curve. I would have stayed with a P 18 but I wanted the extra room of the SX wings I have a family of 7. IMO the P 18 would be the way to go for you. Just make sure you rebuild your rudder system, new pins, new catches, new pulleys, new lines and take the time to adjust them so they release when you want without taking the back of the boat off.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by shipchips1 on Apr 21, 2013 - 05:30 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
