Are there tuning guides somewhere on beachcats? I thought I read it in another thread but I was not able to find any information. I'm looking specifically for the Hobie 18. Thanks!

This may or may not answer your question, but that picture is sweet!

I think there will be huge differences in tuning a 16 (no spreaders, 2-1 downhaul, overlapping jib, extreemly different hull shapes, centerboards, etc) compared to the h18

Good place to start. H18 starts on page 23.
