Can anybody tell me how the H216 sails compared to the H240.
Specificly, their 'tenderness'.
The H240 was always described as a tender boat. I have sailed it for several years, and am quite comfortable with it.
So How does the H216 handle?
Has anybody sailed both, in strong winds, to give an opinion?

My 216 seems pretty tender in high winds. It can be overpowered by the mainsail at times. However, the rudder is terrific. Always tons of bite with little to no weather helm. Boat has high combing tops and lots of freeboard, so even if you are tipped over, you don't feel like you are going to dump it.
