If you are on a limited budget I would go for something like a Nacra 5.5, Prindle 18-2 or a Hobie 18..or if you want something more high performance and want to race, then a used F18.. I would not recommend a H16 to anybody just getting into the sport..Simple yes, easy to learn the sport..NO. You may want to stick to a non-spinnaker boat just for a year or two to learn.
