i weigh 155 so i can right it, i also singlehand my 16 but i have to be more careful and reef if the wind goes over 12 kn. the 14 is very sensitive to weight trim , when racing i'm all over the boat to reduce wetted surface, lift the sterns, keep the leeward bow down while pointing, etc, and all this trim stuff relates to the 16. i notice that a lot of 16 sailors and others just sit in their favorite little comfort zone near the back of the boat, wondering why the leaders are walking away. oh i almost forgot the real reason, cause its so much fun! like dancing with a slender redhead who follows every move and responds to subtle pressures
