yes but your £4500 spit will be the same boat as a new one, will a £4500 F18 be the same as a new one? or will you have to spend more to get it as fast?

The Hobie 16 is the 2009 ISAF youth class and there is top level support available from the RYA to help youth H16 sailors

Surely its a fairly straight foward progression from Dragoon?

It is Sunday morning and I didn't have a drink last night so I'm quite sober, but it has to be said: The original question was, "what Class to move on to". Not wanting an any way to take from Brian Phipps, the Youth Squad and the RYA, but, the only thing that the Hobie 16 is a progression from, is two logs strapped together - and maybe, the Hobie 14. It was good fun in its day. And I know that it is still raced in Countries around the World, but even the Dragoon is more like the Formuls 18 than the Hobie 16. A modern design is needed, similar to  a Formula 18, but for lighter crews.

I'll get me coat !

At least I've got the Irish Sea between most of you and me

if I was 14-18 and managed to save 4 grand for a boat I'd buy an old tiger. its
not gonna win you the worlds, but it will last till you get your skills up and
still be sellable after a couple of years

SL16 is s**t
H16 are great in a F6, but no one races em in UK any more. Why you would
want a kite on a H16 is still beyond me??
Dart's are dull but have great racing
there are only 15 spitfires in the country and no euros or worlds to go to

that only leaves the F18... and they have black sails which are cool


or you could buy a tornado plenty around at the moment!!

SL 16 is better than you think, and perfect for youth boat compared to any other boat on the market

Don't think you are right there.  There were 20 at Rutland in May, 24 at the nats last year and the Euros were at Ostend.

There are over 200 Spitfires built, mainly spread between UK, France and Ireland.

At the expense of appearing to hijack the thread,... I have certainly seen more than 20 Spitfires in a group. They're great boats. Oh, and I happen to have one for sale which is not too far off your price, especially when you take account of all the extras that are included: http://www.dee-sc.co.uk/docs/2008/Spitfire076ForSale.pdf

I'm selling it because I now sail solo on the Spitti's little sister, but I love the Spitti!

White Tiger - Spitfire 076
