Reply to: Best Cat for single handing

Message body

[quote=Kenginnyd]I live in Florida. Been off cats since 1985 when I moved to California and took up offroad MC racing.

I'm getting the itch to sail but times are different not. When we raced we were hard core, a rare occassion for us to just play.

My crew and wife is interested in sailing but not with the idea of going back to racing. She's been beat up plenty of times and those are now just memories and Xrays for her.

I'd be interested in a day sailor, never thought I'd say that, but I'm having lingering thoughts that I'll miss the thrill of the speed. On the other hand I'm realistic and I don't want something I can't right by myself. Water bags and such may work but the reality is if it is blowing I'll be upside down in the cypress trees of surf before I could deploy some apparatus. I ain't 40 any more! My wife raced a H-14 Turbo and it doesn't have the bouancy for two up. I'm about 180lb.

The Wave is interesting but I've not heard many comments about the performance, righting it or seen hull flying photos.
