[quote=wlrottge]Couple of points to consider:
- Steep learning curve to sail the boat well
- Handicap rating has been "driven down" by all of the great sailors on the boat
Those two points will make fleet racing a difficult and likely frustrating endeavor.
- A cat is built to be light (read fragile)
- Unirig is more difficult to tack and keep in the groove
- Documentation, parts and support info specific to your boat will be more difficult to find
Although, yes it is fast and a TON of fun, be forewarned that something like a Hobie 16 (or 17 if planning to sail alone), Nacra 5.0, 5.2, 5.5, etc. may be more appropriate for your situation.[/quote]
