OK, for the last 16 years, I've been occasionally sailing my H18 on Southwest Missouri lakes. Some years sailing a couple of times per month, and others sailing only 2 or 3 times. Due to the size and geography of these lakes, it is more common to have laid-back days than ripping rides, and not uncommon to get dumped on the lake with no wind whatsoever. Hull flying conditions were rare and usually accompanied by a storm rolling in.
I spent last summer on Lake Superior. I flew a hull a lot more than occasionally.

Sounds like a good venue for a Nacra 6.0 or spend a lot more of the sailing season on Lake Superior with the H18.

Hi Adam,
I'm not sure what the question is?

The h18 needs some reasonable wind to light it up.

Buy a van and a bunch of camping gear. Change the bearings on your trailer. Follow the sun.
