The Prindle 16 is nice but the one we have does sit lower in the water than the Hobie 16’s at our club, and they are also slower than the Hobie 16. Still if they were the same height, all the Prindle 16’s we have sailed are in fact wetter and maybe this is because of the deck angles as the deck tilts to one side, must be some reason.



We had three Prindle 18’s but gave 2 of them away and have one left that we are also trying to get rid of but can’t seem to find a mast for it as the Prindles’ have not been built in some time. Does anyone know of another mast that might work on a Prindle 18? I think if you want something bigger than a Hobie 16 maybe a Hobie 18 would be good as they are bullet proof and perform well, or if you want an old cat like a Prindle 18 why not get one of those Pacific Cats?
