A Prindle 16 should be a good boat to start with. It is easy to sail, no centerboards to worry about, and a easy to work kick-up rudder system. It has enough hull displacement to sail area ratio that it is a difficult boat to pitchpole unlike the other "brand". The only problem you will have is it might be difficult to trim the mainsheet for a 14 year old girl unless you change the blocks out to a 7 or 8 to 1 3" blocks to allow them a larger mechanical advantage. Cat trax are a must !!
