The 16 is definitely too small. The Nacra 500 was 16'7", and I sold it with the intention of getting something bigger. I thought the Hobie 18' was a good size, but I'd hate to get an 18 and then six months later, I feel like I should really have bought a 20.

At 185, 6', I can right an F18 sucessfully, sailing solo. (First time I sailed one, in fact.) There are alternatives (that I dont have) to also to make solo sailing and capsizing less of a risk (righting poles, ballast buckets). That said, I would prefer to not capsize in a breeze > 12kts w/rough sea...
