Default Heavy pilot - what glider to opt for?

Good evening,

I need some assistance!

I am an early solo pilot looking to buy my first glider, but don't really know what to go for! I want it for local soaring, but eventually to go cross country in it.

The slight issue is that I am 6`4 tall and 17.5 stone - arguably too heavy, but the question is what to go for.

I'll obviously need a roomy cockpit!

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
