[quote=p18houstontx][quote=erice]for a 1st cat look for something like a 2nd hand getaway for a good price
sail it for a year or 2 to better work out your wish list
and then sell it for pretty much what you bought it for[/quote]
I was under the impression that the Hobie Gateway cannot be setup/broke down single-handed, and neither could be launched off the beach single handed. Perhaps I am mistaken. Could you please clarify?
And how fast does the Gateway go? Not theoretical maximums but just what normal sailors have experienced in 10-12 kt winds. Just some ball-park numbers?
Thanks for your suggestion. If the Gateway can be rigged/launched singlehanded without fuss, and sailed singlehanded, and can provide over 10kts speed in average conditions then it would certainly fit my requirements. The question is "will it?"
