[quote=erice]for 30 yo boats
generally the best condition, affordable boat near you is best
having said that if you want the best tacking and pointing then boardless boats should be bottom of your list
so i'd rank them 5.2, 18.2, h18, 5.0, P18
i also hate the way the h16 tacks and the jib hangs in light air
but i doubt the p18 would be anywhere near as bad
so go check it out
if you can arrange a test sail, always advisable
you'll find out how well it tacks[/quote]
