Check out the Youth fourm on this site. There are three threads that address this issue. But perhaps the most interesting thing about the Youth forum is the lack of youth participating. The ones that do participate are into it because of their parents and sail what their parents sail. The boats they long for, according to their posts, are Hobie 14s and similar small boats. There's even a post from one kid inviting others to check out the NOR for the Youth Championship event on H16s that his dad told him about. "Looks like fun." the kid says.
