I know theres alot of comments about this and mine are redundant, but yeah, the 16s are ridiculously easier to right. I once didn't have time to swim the bows around on a 16 and was righting it against the wind, but I figured with my 185# weight and my crew's 140# weight it would be cake. So i just jumped on the hull and pulled the rope, and it started coming. I thought my crew was with me, but it turned out he had thought we should swim the bows (even though this was in marina del rey, with the rocks about 30 feet away). anyway, the thing came right up, and it was just my weight.

and on the other hand, that 14 needs bouncing.
i just dont understand.

There must be something to it, maybe the angle the mast lays at is greater since the boat is the same width yet the mast is alot shorter. That would make it lay at a harder angle to right from!
