Sunny,
I was offered a good deal on an H16.
Ok I would definetly go with the suggestions mentioned above because you WILL tire of the H16 very quickly. The only reason I got it was because I was told that if you can sail a H16 then you can sail anything and other cats will seem like a dream.
I weigh 58kg. Do you think a girl my weight and in good shape could right one?
Honeslty, no. My weight is 70kg and I have trouble righting the H16. Im in good shape (I have a trainer that keeps me fit .. she comes 5-6 days a week 2 hrs each day). Yet I still find righting the H16 to be such a hassle. I have to climb back on the hull using some ropes then lean back to right it.
How did you get it in and out of the water. Did you always have help?
Thats not really an issue with me because I live by the ocean and I have something similar to a garage that I keep my cat in. Its only a few meters to the water.
I would also be solo most of the time and was concerned that it would be too much to wrestle with.
I solo on the H16 all the time so thats not really something you should be worried about.
I hope that helped
