[quote=BobBill]Being able to stand (comfortably) on a boat is a much neglected requirement.
Being able to quickly rig a dinghy or cat boat at launch is also an often neglected requirement.
Raising a long mast spar can be difficult...then there is the rest of it, shrouds, rudders, boards, sail, and so on...
At the risk of having some stones tossed at me, I will say that these needs are why I decided against a catamaran generally and a beach cat specifically are those two...and influenced why I opted to recycle the two Hobie hulls noted earlier to craft an easy-launch/glass version of the Malibu Outrigger or tacking proa...
Standing (and carrying stuff) and quick trailer-to-water time (10 minutes, give or take) (and stepping mast) were major factors.
No sure of value for the boat you are looking at, but with the price of boats (and food) nowadays, looks decent. P-cats are substantial boats...of that there is no doubt. Try to visualize maintenance and launch-work.[/quote]
