I’d go with the Hobie 16, but they are all good boats to learn on.
In conversations like this you will often hear about how the Hobie 16 is prone to pitch pole. This is entirely over stated. Go to a catamaran regatta when the wind picks up to about 20 knots. You will see all of the other boats flipping and heading to the beach. The 16 fleet will still be out racing. The bows are less buoyant than many other boats, that is a fact of geometry, but the 16 is still one of the best heavy air catamarans out there.
Another funny thing you will notice about bows is that the same people who knock the low volume bows in the Hobie 16 rave about the “wave piercing” narrow bows on the A cats. So next time you look at that classic banana hull, note the “wave piercing” bows .
