although i'd sailed mono hulls for years (badly i may
add) i had the same reservations about getting a 16.
truth is, its pretty easy to sail (but hard to sail well). just
don't go out in a blow for a while.
as for righting, again i had all the mono-hull
brainwashing of how you could'nt right a cat. i have got
a mast float on (i also sail in shallow waters so saves
bending the mast), but when i popped mine in i was
amazed at how easy it came up. just rig a basic righting
line under the tramp and swim the mast to 45deg into
the wind.
if the 16 is a deal, get it! |
