A Hobie 18 with an SX mast and Tiger Main, right?

I'll agree with Steve and Andi on the get the hull out of the water (although may not happen until upper end of light winds). The boat stays calmer, sail more efficient. The boat's shorter than the T or N20.

Inland lakes can have a lot of chop (damned powerboats) and in our experience a stock Hobie 18 needed some power to help drive through the chop (very flat didn't work). I can't speak to the "modern" Tiger main.

All posts good advice, there will be variables.
