THough your CV16 isn't a Precision20, I think you'll find the relaxation and adventure no less fulfilling. If you haven't got your sails yet, have at least one deep reef sewn in the main.
My next time out, I'll measure how well she points and let you know. The only annoyance to date is when going into a steep chop, because of the sheets of water off the bow transom. CeeTime fixed that on his D5 with a deflector. Consider making one for those days. Other than that, she has kept us dry, even rolling over large wakes. And these cam cleats are priceless, right where they are, at least for me. Makes all the difference for a thoroughly relaxing sail, especially singlehanding. Right there to let the sheets fly if you get taken by surprise. I used their stronger aluminum model for the jib sheet, and the plastic for the main. The main is already a two purchase sheet. The jib gets a mighty load on it when the wind is blowing or gusting, despite what seems to be its small size.
I mounted them on a pad so I could swap out different arrangements, but I think this one will be just fine for many years. The inclinometer helps tweak the heel angle, to gain almost half a knot in light air. That heel presents more sail higher up (like sailing an Optimist), and may also present a wetted area of less drag or maybe even more lift potential than the full rocker when floating upright.
Glad you had a rewarding experience in the Precision, though they have small diameter shrouds (uncomfortable to grab). I'm glad I took Jacques' wise advice to go a little larger, even though they aren't needed for the loads. I cleaned up today and found the section of the hull I cut out for the CB slot..... memories of a counter-intuitive event. A toast to holes in boats, but only where they belong.
Keep those pictures coming.
