[quote=rattlenhum]You really need to find someone who's familiar with beachcats to help you get started (in person). Surely there are some beachcat sailors somewhere near you....and most are more than happy to help. Best case is to get involved with a group where you can learn from others and get familiar with different boats before buying one.
Also, do you even have a good place to launch? Beachcats are made to be launched from a sandy beach. It can be very difficult to launch from a boat ramp (unless there's a beach close by to paddle to before rigging). I'm not trying to discourage you....just make sure you're aware of a basic need...especially since your ability to get you and your boat around will be somewhat limited.
Keep looking and good luck![/quote]
