[quote=klozhald]Yes, the tramp is longer, and two extra feet of hull will be more buoyant.
This translates to sitting higher in the water on the 18.
Both cats are 8 feet wide.
The 18 will sail better with 500 lbs, but neither cat was designed for this.
I sailed both a Prindle 16 and an 18-2 with 400 lbs many times and had fun.
In lighter air you two will want to be on either side of the cat to keep it level.
Will you be in the ocean, a lake, or a river?[/quote]
