[quote=btrbimmer]The Prindle 18 is a great first catamaran.
I recently purchased a 1982 P18 with the original sails, in great condition, and it was a blast out on Delaware bay this past weekend. Two adults and two small children is workable, but I could feel the weight. We had about 700 lbs at one point, and it was still a fun ride.
The boat is really light for the size, and it really takes off in the right conditions. This is my first catamaran and I never felt out of control. It was actually easier to sail than my Sunfish in many ways.
Buy the P18, and you will not regret it.
