Reply to: Next boat

[quote=ropewalker]I've been sailing a Hobie 18 for about a year, and am getting comfortable on it. I still have a lot to learn, but I'd like something that can do better downwind. I made the mistake of sailing with someone who has a spinnaker, and now I want one. :-). So, I'm looking for advice on used boats. I don't want a project boat or something that is hard to find parts for. I could add a spin to the H18, but I think I'd be better off getting a boat that was designed to use one from the start. The H18 is a bit heavy, and my wife and I have trouble pushing it uphill on the beach wheels. I thought about getting an F16, but I think a 17 matches our combined weight better and is still lighter than the 18. Are there certain boats to avoid? There's lots of information and misinformation online, and it's a bit hard to separate the two sometimes.[/quote]
