[quote=MN3][quote]If you are still with me, what are your thoughts?
Am I looking at boats that suit my intention?
Any stand out as better choices to you?
Boats that I missed that I should look at?[/quote]
My bias thoughts:
H21 = 600lbs and hugE mast = harder to rig and move around land
I20 is race boat - not made for comfort
h18 is a great robust boat but well past it's prime and getting hard to find one with hulls without soft spots - also 70 design
widened Nacra 5.8 not a bad choice but hard to move around land (driving - requires disassembly or tilt trailer)
Supercat 20,Arc 21/2 - fun and stable boat / could work but VERY wet boat and very very heavy mast (takes rigging to a whole new level)
If budget is not a big issue i would look at new Nacra 5.7 personally (no boom, no boards, spin package, modern layout with jib out of the way)
But if wings are wanted and dry boat and ability to go from a fun family cat with wings to a racing machine = Mystere 6.0 or 5.5.
I own both and share a set of custom made wings between em
if you want to solo a 6.0 i would recommend a set of storm sails so you can adjust your sailplan as needed (i swap my 5.5 and 6.0 sails depending on wind)
