i enjoy the simplicity of solo sailing my 16 uni style. i weigh about 160 lbs. tacking is not a problem. the tacking drill is like the 14 (i sailed my 14 'classic style' for a couple of years) i do not rerig the mast, which has moderate but not extreme rake, though i see that some advantage could be achieved by pulling the mast forward. the 'trick' is in smooth, minimal steering and smooth weight shifts to the back corner and then across the trampoline during the tack. also the main should be smoothly sheeted in until head to wind, then let out or even pushed out to make sure the sail doesn't stop the boat from turning and prevent falling off onto the new tack. the sail should not be sheeted in too early on the new tack. i especially like the spacious feeling of the boat and great view i experience with this style of sailing.
