As Hullflyer noted I do own a H-18. I noted that at the bottom of my post so you could take my words with a grain of salt.
JACKFLASH's words, quoted below, are wise ones, wish I had said the same thing.
Please note that while I sail a Hobie 18, statement would have been the same if the boats were reversed. Point is, go have some fun, the difference in the boats is minimal for what you are wanting to do,
