I don't know what kind of shorelines you have. Sandy ones are good for about anything, but rocky ones can be a challenge for the fiberglass boats like the H16. You'd need to perfect getting on/off in water and getting beach wheels (Cat Trax) under the boat before it hits land. A Wave might be better if you sail alone a lot, it's recreational mostly (not racing) and good if you want something that can knock around. It's lighter too. And it can handle 2 people. That's what a lot of resorts have gone to.
Thanks for the suggestion. The Wave looks like like a good bet for my purposes. I like that it's easy to handle alone but also can take the occasional passenger. Eventually I might get something bigger, but for getting back into sailing after such a long time, it looks like a good all around boat. Thanks again.
