[quote=Wolfman]I got a 5.2 as my first cat and love it! That being said if you can find one, a 5.0 would be a better starter boat.
Both are easy to sail and very forgiving even singlehanded. The advantages of the 5.0 is no dagger boards and no boom to worry about. The disadvantage... well there really are no disadvantages that I can think of the 5.0 and 5.2 are really comparable performance wise.
Another option is the 5.7, which is almost 19 feet long but has the same advantages as the 5.0, but a little more difficult to single hand and probably nearly impossible to right by yourself.[/quote]
