Are you planning to sail solo or with crew?

A H14 is good starter cat for one person.

A 16 footer is a good size cat. You can comfortably sail solo or with crew.

There are a lot of different new & used cats out there. Try to get a ride on each to help your decision. To find a ride check out a local club. You'll usually find a captain looking for crew.

Once you narrow the type and size of cat place another post.
