[quote=Wolfman]Personally I would pass on half interest. If you are going to spend the time and money you should own the thing outright. Not to mention there is always the worry of one partner breaking something and not owning up to it.
There are lots of cats available out there for a reasonable price. No real need to go halfers on one especially if it an older model (maybe an F18 would be worth it).
At your size with any crew the 16 would bog down, but you are right, they are nice for simplicity! Try and find a nice 18 footer and you will probably be more than happy with it. A Prindle 18, Hobie 18 or a Nacra 5.7 or 5.8 would be ideal for you. [/quote]
