Default Pilot weight/Cockpit load

Members of this group have provided me with lots of helpful advice & info to
help me sort through the many glider types and find the right first ship for
myself. Thanks for your help! I have another question.
I'm a big guy and could possibly weigh as much as 250lbs dressed for cold
weather flying & wearing a parachute. It appears like many single seat gliders
will not accomodate me weight wise
Which single seat gliders can handle a 250 pounder like myself and still remain
within limitations?
Thanks for all your help!
David Roth
