I have an F16 Stealth, and recently parted with a $4000 early 90s Boyer A cat. Both have exceptionally light masts, very easy to step solo. Both are extremely lightweight boats, at the expense of durability. Both are equally easy to right solo. Both are a royal blast to sail solo, I'd have trouble choosing a favorite.
I also have an F18HT which I'll solo up to about 10 to 12 kts of wind, but it's really a 2 person boat. And I use a gin pole to safely raise that carbon mast. I can right it solo with an extended Solo Right, but it can be marginal for me at 160 lbs. Set up time on spinnaker boats is substantially more.
