[quote=cezo823]I've been reading this site for a while, just finally singed up, great site, in comparison to the veterans on this site I'm pretty new to cat sailing but I've done a TON of research and hands on learning on the past couple years.
What year is a H16 hookey? I do know that the newer (I think after 1983 or so) H16s are significantly lighter than the older ones, if you have a older H16, upgrading your hulls might help a lot (get the money by selling your older hobie), easy find on craigslist. There are also a ton of easy to find upgrades for the H16.
Also the H16 has a HUGE racing fleet across the country, if they don't have a H16 race in your area, I'm willing to bet that there is one nearby.
The popularity of the H16 surpasses it's ability to keep up with the newer cats, but you can still move really well on one, if you are happy with it keep it and keep your eyes open to expand your fleet, it never hurts to have a couple to a few cats in a collection.
On the Spinn kit, use searchtempest.com it searches all craigslists for a given range (miles)it awesome you might find a spinn kit and take a sailing trip to it or convince the seller to ship it or ebay.
Good luck, what area are you in? I'm sure some of the guys here will tell you where to race H16's[/quote]
