[quote=Wolfman]An A-cat would be a very bad choice for a beginner. They tend to be very fragile, setup for a relatively light crew and are monsters to sail. They are also expensive as heck.
The 5.0 would be a good choice for you. The H16 will work for you solo but will wallow a bit with 2 on board. If you aren't racing they are both decent choices for you. In my opinion getting a daggerless boat when you are starting is a good idea. You may not be able to point as high as a dagger boat but simple it better when you are learning. There are
enough things to think about at first without adding to it. Try and stick with looking at 16-17 ft boats to start, when buying used condition is everything so look for the nicest boat if your price range.
