Bill... Thats an 18 with the jub furled. The daggerboards on the 17 also don't rise above the hulls. I sail a 17 in events around nothern Calif and Nevada. So far you may be the only person around LV with a 17. You are in luck as the North American 17 and 18 will be in your front yard next fall !!!! Great to see more 17's in the west which may give me a reason to travel to so California/Nevada more often. There are some new 17 sailors in the Bay Area (San Francisco-SantaCurz) that are getting involved in racing. Check out the Hobie 17/17sx Forum on Hobie North American web site for great info.
