I am new to sailing and looking to buy my first dinghy - i really need one that will be easy to handle single handed but big enough for 2 or 3 people. I have 2 young boys who i would like to join me sometimes - so stability is important.
I've been looking at the dart 16 could someone let me know if this is a good choice or should i be looking at something else.
i've hoping to go the the southampton boat show in sept so it would be good to get some feedback before then

Dart 16 - not as fast as a H 16, but much more stable and plenty volume for 3 not too heavy people.
Dart 16 singlehanded rated as fast as H 16.
Dart 16 much less likely to pitchpole, easier to right.
