That one problem about the H16 that I forgot about... the "popping a wheelee" issue. Because of the ssslllooowww tacking of the H16, we usually try to do a roll tack. The problem is that even in medium wind, it tends to pop a wheelee while trying to perform this maneuver. With the daggerboards, the Nacra tacks almost as well as a monohull. I am not required to backwind the jib on the Nacra like I have to do a lot of on the H16.
However, the H16 is simpler to rig and it is much easier to beach, especially solo. I end up running all over the tramp trying to get ready for a beaching, but I only beach it once per trip, I tack many times, so the payoff is worth it.
