This is exactly how I got into sailing. I picked up a 1976 H16 for $300.00 (no trailer) and had never sailed anything before. I bought some books and learned enough about sailing to take it out on our own. May not of been the best way to learn, but if you don't have anyone in your area to teach you, I'm sure it'll work out for you.
The H16 has two tramps that are laced together in the center.
