[quote=rondog]I agree with Tim! Grab a H16 for $500, earn your "Cat Legs", sail the snot out of it, then even if you sell it a year or two later for half of what you bought it for it would still be cheaper than taking sailing lessons for that same time period. (In actuality you probably will break even as cats in that price range move pretty quickly.)
Yes starting out with an advanced cat might not give you the experience you want and the fun factor will be at an all time low. Plus, when you get in a local club with your H16 you may meet up with H18 or H20 folk and hop a ride to see what it is like and not even like the job, or solidify that it is the right course.
Keep it simple at first is my opinion.
BTW an H16 will hold you and your wife just fine.
