[quote=MN3]your in a great spot for cat sailing. There is a rental place by the biscane bay bridge and you could try a h16 or wave again (if you want to sail again before you buy).
I think the 5.2 is probably fine, but i seem to recall they have daggar boards and that makes it a bit more work and you need to be very alert to shallows when beaching.
I would probably suggest the 5.0 skeg (no boards) or another 16' (hobie, prindel, etc) as the optimal first cat (IMHO) but i am sure you would do fine with another.
good luck, keep us posted on your decisions.[/quote]
