The H16 weighs around 300 lbs and requires 185 lbs to right. I don't think that's a good idea, solo, for a new 128 lb. sailor.

If you're thinking Hobie, I'd rather see you on a 14. It's quick, light, surfs easily and in light air you can sneek up on bigger boats if they don't pay attention.

Some guy has one in his garage, that he's hanging on to for sentimental reasons. Convince him you're serious and he'll give it to you for a song!

*edit. The post above, about the H16, is hard to argue with, just please don't go out without total crew wt. over 200 lbs.

You are going to dump the boat, that is a certainty! Be prepared before you leave the beach.
