[quote=Dogboy][quote=MN3]it hit me yesterday ... buy the 20 and purchase a h16 mast/sail
use the 16 rig until you get the skills for the 20 rig
then resell the 16 mast and sail[/quote]
Getting a Hobie 16 rig to work on a Hobie 20 is going to be a major PITA and expensive and probably wouldn't even "work" very well anyway. The mast base designs are completely different, the boom length, downhaul configuration, and sheeting angles for the main and jib are also completely different between the two boats. Plus shroud lengths would have to be customized as well as some other things I'm sure.
No, I do not recommend you even consider this approach.
Just get a boat that is appropriate for your current skill set and you will be happy in the long run.
