The basic H18 platform is the same....any difference would be in the mast. In North America, as I remember, there is a H18SE, with the regular mast. The H18SX, and the model sold in Europe, (hobie Formulae) had a mast 18" taller.....and a thinner mainsail. Can others please comment....srm or one of the Matt's or Mike....or whoever can help out here... |

US boats should have the CompTip. Most other differences are mostly cosmetic / slight hardware differences typically. |

May have only been a problem in the US when we changed the glass layup... 1984 - 1988 models were most effected. |
