[quote=jalex]You can't go wrong with either boat. I have owned them both and still own a 16. The 16 is easier to beach launch due to lighter weight. I consider it easier to rig because of the shorter mast. Also, the 16 does not have dagger boards which is one less thing to worry about. The 16 doesn't really like more than 2 medium adults and a picnic, but an additional child isn't a deal breaker. More than that you should consider the 18 for weight capacity and it really is the better sailing boat, especially when the wind picks up. I found mine to be a beast wrestling on and off the beach. The standard roller furling is nice and if you are lucky enough to have wings you'll be loving life. I am in the Florida Panhandle, if you make it this far east I'm happy to take you for a test drive on a 16<!-- editby --><em>Edited by jalex on Aug 27, 2018 - 04:17 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
