[quote=sailinagin]The 16 is not a bad choice but I think some Prindle guys on here may have good things to say about the weight those boats can carry for that length. They have larger hull volume and can carry more weight. You just may have an issue finding parts. But I'll leave that up to the Prindle owners to let you know what they think.
I sail a Hobie 18 and it would handle the weight but if you do a lot of solo sailing that may not be the boat for you and as you said you want to stay in the 16-17' range.[/quote]
