[quote=bacho]Well, as someone said its all about you and less about the boat. I have an H18, I let a VERY good (world champion on albacores) sailor take it out and he beat a handfull of F-18's an f-16 and an A-cat with it. Beat them outright, no handi-cap and no spin. I came away from that experience thinking my boat was pretty fast. I added a spin and I raced the same boats thinking I would do well and found myself in last place, I mean WAY back. Its ALL about experience.
My H-18 is a handful to solo, its not something I would want to do. Forget about righting it solo when you capsize.
I took a ride on an F-18 (Nacra Infusion) thinking it would be about like my H18. It took about 6 seconds to throw that idea out the window. There is no way you would want to solo an F-18. What thing made my H18 look like a moped vs. a hayabusa!
I can take all my friends on ride, I can get anywhere on the lake I want to. But I look like a complete fool on the race course. I vote you keep the H16 and keep racing it. Once your competitive with the handi-cap, move up if you like.[/quote]
