I should add...I will also be doing alot of beach launching and sailing thru surf. I am thinking the H-16 is best for that because of low weight and no boards? Or does it matter?

Brings up another question. I see that racers rake the mast back to move the CE closer to the rudders. Should the H-16 have had centerboards? Or do the asymetrical hulls work fine? Do H-16s point lower than centerboard cats?

Thanks Again!
