and also the fist bit is made of stones so that adds some drag

There's probably less room in a Vago than a Miracle.  I have to say the Miracle fits the bill better than any other suggestion.  You can get 4 in it and yet it is light enough for a reasonably sized male to pull up a reasonable slip.  It can certainly be sailed single handed in a wide range of winds.

However somebody said that he's going about it in the wrong order and I'd have to agree.  First find a club and then see what boats they sail.

PS my brother has an almost new, glassfibre Pacer he's trying to sell - that might do the trick.
