[quote=tdsurf][quote=smfinley]The H17 sail is undersized for most people, so a jib is a great upgrade. However as the wind picks up an undersized sail can be a good thing. So if you issue is the 15+ mph days, th H17 might be a good match. Use jib in light air, no jib when it picks up. Never sailed a SC17, but based on my experience with a SC20 I am betting it is a really nice setup. Might be a wet ride though.[/quote]
smfinley, Its an H17 sport and comes with a jib , what you said is what i have been thinking. I also want to beat a couple of the local 16s here. Is the H17 faster? I KNOW the SC17 is. As far as a wet boat. What boat isn't wet. Ive sailed waves in 30 knots so being in a washing machine isn't a problem for me. The H17 is a '94 2nd owner boat, used the past 10 years by an older couple never even pushed hard or sailed with the jib. I am pretty sure before looking that the beams will be in great shape especially from the overall look of the boat proem the photos.[/quote]
