I sailed the Nacra F18 for 2 seasons, the Infusion for 1 season (still sailing it) and the Cap for a week at a championship.

I typically sail between 360lbs and 380lbs, the Nacra F18 is NOT your first choice, it can be a tough ride to make it go fast downhill in a breeze. The Infusion has so much more volume where you need it a blind monkey can sail an Infusion downhill in a breeze. I sailed the Cap light (335 lbs), and I felt the Infusion went downhill with a bit more forgiveness. But, uphill the Cap is a very nice ride.

Again all of this is just an opinion of a big boy team and I could be easily talked off any of the points above except the Nacra F18 thing!

I don't have access to the other F18 models out there so I can't comment on those.
