[quote=charlesjackson1955]A boarded cat may perform somewhat better upwind, but the P18 makes an impact.
P18 I had one for a while and even added a spinnaker on it (the last years I owned it)
I also own a Prindle 16 and have sailed the standard series of cats such as the H16.
I adore my Prindle 16, but for a larger crew (2 men), the P18 is superior. It's a lot of fun to get there. Broadcasting works great as well; just make sure you have barberhaulers for your jib.
The P18 is a little heavier than the P18, but it has more oompf. In terms of it being a lake boat or anything, are there any concerns for inexperienced crews? That doesn't sit well with me. I enjoyed my P16 a lot as a starter board, but for certain young fellas with the invisible additude that comes at that age, I think the P18 is just perfect. Simple, tough, and a blast on reach. Under spi, I could keep up with the F18s. As I approached, I passed them slowly. Upwind, I lost height in proportion and had to work to keep close. In overall, this is a nice ship.
