In France it is most likely the Kl 15.5 from which the SL16 was derived. KL 15.5 is the official youth boat for French youth sailors.

Even the boulogne brothers (2003 F18 world champions) campaigned in this boat when they were younger.

In the Netherlands the Dart 18 is on a level with the H16 when it comes down to youth activities.

Like Steve says, many of us could be surprised to see an different boat then the H16 score out ahead in the way of youth class on a global scale.
