I agree with Eric. I weigh the same as you do and I sail the Taipan 4.9 uni rigged most of the time. If the winds are light and I want a workout, I throw the spinnaker up. If it gets too windy, I find crew and put the jib on. The boat is very versatile. The boat is light too (about 230 lbs rigged) so it is easy to setup by yourself. If you sail by yourself, though, you will need to bring a water bag with you so if you capsize, you can right the boat by yourself. The boat is easy to right if there are two.
