[quote=MN3]prindle and hobie 16 and 18's are very very similar boats
small differences, but over-all not much difference between them
other good legacy cats to consider are
dart 18's (light and easy to rig / great high wind boats)
supercat 17 great boat with lots of manufacturer support (rare in legacy boats) but heavy boat and crazy heavy mast
nacra 5.7 - skeg boat (no boards) no boom
g-cat 5.0 / 5.7 - great boat / front tramp - limited support / few parts but beams and masts are very similar to hobie mast extrusions
IF you have the cash ...
a new mystere 5.5 or nacra 500 or 570 would be my choice
why? 20-30 year old legacy boats have wear and rust that can cause catastrophic failure at almost any time
esp if sailed in salt water[/quote]
