[quote=smfinley]I love the H18 especially with wings. That being said, there are a lot more H16’s out there so parts are easier to find. The daggerboards on the H18 make coming into the beach a little more work (you need to pull them up before you get to shallow). The H16 really only handles 2 people, the 18 will take 3 or 4 MUCH better. The 18 is more stable, more comfortable with wings, and easier to tack due to the daggerboards. The 18 is heavier, so loading on/off the trailer and pulling around on the beach is more work.
Would be good to know your sailing plans. Recreation, interested in racing, 2 people, with/without kids, store on trailer or on a beach, etc.
Both are good boats. Buy the most expensive one you can afford, likely will end up cheaper than the cheapest one you find.[/quote]
