[quote=P.M.][quote=saskh18][quote=P.M.]Based on your OP the 580 will handle the weight maybe slightly better than the H18, and has more hull volume. It has centerboards but sails like crap with them up (experience). If you want to get away from the boards than go the skeg route.
Maybe staying with the H18 and find some wings is not a bad option.[/quote]
Do the swinging dagger boards on the 580 pop up, similar to the rudders?[/quote]
Yes, they are swinging kick up boards. A few comments on the 580. The 580 is NOT a 5.8. Beware of older legacy 5.8 cats wearing 580 stickers. Also, I "believe" that Nacra has discontinued the 580.
Notes: If you find a 580 you will know it's a 580 if it has swinging boards, or the D-shaped beams. Some were packaged as the "sport" which included the spin setup. There are a very limited number of these boats in existance.
I will add a picture shortly.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by P.M. on Sep 01, 2021 - 09:29 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
