There is not much (relative) volume in the hulls of a H16 most of the sailors around here where the wind is 20 KT on good days and 30 on really good ones sail the H16 singlehanded. I have sailed a H16 only once in about 10 -15 kt winds and had to watch the bow carefully but I weigh 195 lbs on a good day. I have also PPed my I20 by not paying attention. When the bow starts to dive pull the rudder towards you to get the other one in the water and help pull it back up. same with surfing the front of waves. get both hulls square to it (or roll under it and swim). I have sailed the front of 12ft waves that way - much fun.
