[quote=klozhald]The Hobie 16 has a well deserved reputation for pitchpoling in the waves more than any other catamaran. Not enough floatation up front. Ask other people who own and sail the H18 and they will tell you that they started on a 16 and moved up partially for that reason. There are lots of other things to balance into making your decision, but if you are going to sail in the ocean avoid the H16. In some of the long distance offshore races in California they do not allow cats less than 18 feet because of incidents that have happened with H16s.[/quote]
