Hi, I'm looking at buying a 1996 H18. Couple of questions:

Assuming off the shelf sails and everything else, is it faster than a 1996 H16?

Assuming the same amount of breeze which hull will fly first the 96 H16 or H18?

Is this the right spinnaker kit for that boat?
60999000 H18/SX18 Pole & Hardware Kit
68999004 Spinnaker

Thanks in advance!
Robert

I f the price is right buy the 18, they still make the 16 so you will have many chances to buy one. As for performance ,..... lets just say you will love the 18,

Buy the 18 but do not buy the spin kit you listed. Get a custom spin and pole system from Jeremy @ Surf City Catamarans. The H18 spin is a downwind drifter sail, too full for real speed.
