It's interesting that the Prindle sailors seemed to march up the performance ladder while the Hobie 16 sailors only seemed to march up to the Hobie 18 and a lot of them never moved up at all.
I don't quite get what you are saying here Mark...
Certainly Hobie sailors "marched up the performane ladder" with each and every larger cat we have built. Actually in larger numbers than Performance Cats / Narca / Prindle has ever had. A large number of H16 sailors moved up to 20's, 21SE's, Tigers... and still sail H16s at major events today. We just have enough depth that the 16 class remained intact.
