Hey
I own a hobie 16 and i weigh say around 60kg and i can right my 16 and its way over weight! all you have to remember is spin the boat around so the wind lifts the sails then make sure you catch the boat!!! I sail my 16 in any thing bellow 25knots with main and jib and i love it just have your travelor off and your jib a heap off.
