Needed to chime in on this spin thing – I think that a spin on the 16 would divide and weaken the class.

The 16 a great boat as it is. New sailors like it because it’s easy to sail and experienced sailors like it because it’s a challenge to sail fast(er).

It seems people are still tweaking and finding new ways to squeeze speed out of the 16, which speaks volumes for the class.

…and on the NAHCA / HCA thing – I thought it was HCA-NA
