Okay, I have already said that the 16 would be the boat that I can see him on. I sailed a 14 solo, if you think the 16 is bad try the 14. It was really bad until I raked the mast all the way back, after that you had to really drive it into a wave to cause a pp. I am sure the 16 is the same, plus it is such an easy boat to find. I have four sitting within 2 blocks of my house, two are active and the other two are scrap boats. That brings up another factor, parts, you can find 16 parts anywhere, but these other boats... well you might be ordering new from the factory or fabricating.
