[quote=jalex]I am always quick to suggest a Hobie 16 as a first cat because of availability, durability, spare parts availability, and entry level cost. It would not be a good choice for adding a front tramp, and it sails poorly without the jib, although I have seen both done.
Both a Gcat 5.7 and a Hobie Getaway are boomless and have front tramps and weigh about 400 lbs which isn’t light, but manageable.
I own a Gcat and a Hobie 16 and they are fantastic boats that have not let me down
