sure H16 would fill the requirement of being hard to pitchpole. It's super light on the beach and it has all of the advantages of new tech. Oh, no, that would be another boat entirely.
If you are going this old find a Hydra. This was the Tornado training boat and is very well behaved, has plenty of freeboard and good tech for its price and age. Downside is that is is heavy like the Hobie.
