[quote=yellowhulls17]The Escape Playcat is actually a very good boat at what it does, which is simplicity and ease of use. It sounds like you got a killer deal for the boat and you will have a blast sailing it. I have one and have sailed it for 3 years now, but desire more lines :evil: and sail area so I'm goin to slap on a jib and as. spinnaker to really see how fast she can go. I hit 17.4 mph in 25 mph winds last fall with just the 125 sqft main (had very flat water too), so the boat has real unlocked speed potential.
Piece of advice: tacking is a bitch on this boat, so release the main sheet at least 20% of the way through the tack, which will effectively pull the boat through the tack faster. Also, I noticed the stats for the boat weight was 290 lbs. but I had mine weighed and it registered at 218lbs. Just wondering if that was a typo or if I have a real light boat.
Any other questions just ask.
Cheers
