[quote=RAD5.2]NaviGator, I sailed a Hobie 16 for 10+ years and never had any problem righting it solo, whenever I went over in 20+ winds. Just getting the mast into the wind, with it blowing on the tramp, my 170lbs. was fine once the mast was out of the water. Just be sure you jump to the windward hull before it blows over downwind. The Hobie Bravo looks too much like a toy; check out a Mystere 4.3, I almost bought one after seeing how much boat it was in a small package.

Otherwise go with the Nacra 500 - great boat. I'm still trying to figure out a method to right my 360lb. Nacra 5.2 solo. Last fall, (mid. Nov.) I was aided by a nearby fisherman. Whew![/quote]
