  13. Prindle 16 vs Hobie 16

    I found that a well setup Prindle 16 will go to weather (upwind sailing) slightly better than a Hobie 16. On a P16 you can outpoint H16's.

Around the course the two are pretty evenly match with something like 1 or 2 % difference in performance ...

  18. Hobie Forums • View topic

    The Hobie 16 is an older design, heavier, more sail area, less rudder. The Prindle 16 was designed by a very small guy to sail with his small wife. Bigger bow, and less sail made the boat less prone to driving the bow under, but the bigger bow stayed under once there. Crossbars mounted to the hull made the boat stiffer.

    Posted December 3, 2004. Prindle 16 is a good fast cat mut needs to be tuned correctly. My tips from experience are: mast rake must be right, mainsail must have no wrinkles when under sail and rudder set on their correct nagles. The P16 will be Hobie 14's, SCATS and Papere Tigers on handicaps with ease.

  22. New to cats. Prindle 16 or Mystere 5.0? :: Catamaran Sailboats at

    At your size, a Prindle 18 (not the 18-2) would be a little better. More hull volumn, but only 30 pounds heavier. Would be much better if you also want to include a few passengers.
