[quote=shortyfox][quote] I notice in your pic you are singlehanding the 5.7. Not too much to handle? [/quote]
No good answer, it's all subjective. I for one, would never have a 16 if most of the time I had an experienced crew member. Sure, a 16 can fun, even a handful with enough wind but an 18 is better and if conditions are right, it's a blast to have 3 with 2 on the wire. 2 people can right an 18 a lot easier than one person can right a 16. Plus an 18 is about is about the limit for stepping the mast alone without the complications of mechanical assistance. I sail a 16 now only because I'm alone most all the time and because my age dictates I won't be doing it too much longer. If you have crew, get an 18 and if you want to single hand that 18, pick your days carefully.[/quote]
