Default hobie 16 cringles on the mainsail

Hi everybody,
I'm writing down these few words just in order to understand in your
opinion if I had a good idea or not.
I weight 65 kg and I'm selling the Hobie 14 in order to buy the 16
but
since I'm so light I was thinking to reduce the mainsail because in
the place where I use sailing is easy to find strong winds and in
order to use my new hobie 16 also as a single boat I tought it was
better to let someone add some cringles to reduce to mainsail, but
keeping the possibility of carry a friend and let him try the real
adrenaline of a hobie.
Please also consider that I'm newby sailor and making a smaller
mainsail for the 16 could be the right chanche to learn better
without
any fear.
Then what are your considerations regarding this? Do you have any
opinion about?
Thanks to anyone will post any consideration.
