As mentioned, the basics of how the boats are sailed are generally the same and the main controls are also the same - tiller, main sheet, traveler, jib.
The point I was trying to make was that an H14T is usually run single-handed (even with the extra jib controls) and enough of the controls are similar on the H18 that it can also be single-handed (though there will be less tuning on the fly). The one major thing I noticed was that the H18 wasn't twitchy like the H14T. In that respect it can be more forgiving than the H14. Adding another crew member or two allows more adjustment of the main and additional controls.
