I have raced a H16 for the last 6 years with my 12 year old son. Now, my 9 year old wants his turn! I can't decide between a used Hobie Wave or H14 for the 12 year old. Owner of the Wave states that there is a small crack above the rudder gudgeon, but that no water leaks while sailing. Can this be repaired? Hobie 14 is ~20 years old. Obviously, each boat has its advantages/disadvantages. I am curious for opinions on which boat would be better for my son. I am assuming that this is a stepping stone to a larger boat around the age of 16 (either a 16, or tiger).

Thanks,
Scott D.
