Wendy:

I think you would get tired of a Wave fast. Look at the 4.3. See if you can find a Nacra 4.5 to try. Look at as many boats as you can. Hobie 17 is a good single racing boat and I take three adults and a 12 yr old on mine all the time. I would try as many different boats as you can. Go to some of the the regattas mentioned and see if you can get rides. This will also show you what is popular in you area and what you would be sailing against. BUT most of all just have fun and get a broad look at a lot of boats.
