Reply to: Getting restarted: looking for advice on the right cat

[quote=MN3][quote]I'm not a racer (unless there's another cat within 20 miles - mwahahaha!) - this is all about fun. I don't want a complicated, delicate cat that needs to be handled with white gloves.[/quote] Mystere 5.5 [quote]I do have a place where I can leave the mast up over the weekend, but I expect most of the time I will be day sailing so I need something not too arduous to set up. It also needs to be straightforward to trailer, so probably not super-wide.[/quote] Mystere 5.5 [quote]I'll be mostly two up - me and my wife or some other willing victim. However, I do want something I can single-hand in lighter conditions. You can single-hand anything in the right wind, but my requirement is that I can right it alone (I'm more than happy using something like a righting pole).[/quote] Mystere 5.5 [quote]We'll be heading off to hang on one of the many islands so I need a cat that I can load up with a few supplies - lunch etc., and maybe a couple of extra people for short haul transits or a weekends worth of camping gear. We'll be squeezing through island passes so I need something with pretty good upwind performance if I'm beating home through a gap. I'm thinking maybe something with center-boards?[/quote] Mystere 5.5 [quote]Above all, it needs to be FUN! The thing I miss most about the H16 is just ripping across the bay, two out on the wire, and feeling like I can fly! I wouldn't mind a dryer ride though....[/quote] Mystere 5.5 I have 3 Mystere's in my back yard. You can buy one (or all 3 for the right price) :) I am in clearwater [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTPRNHCjbwU[/url] [url]http://www.thebeachcats.com/classifieds/catamarans-for-sale/p14251-sailing-season-is-about-to-start-21-95-mystere-5-5-catamaran241800.html[/url][/quote]
