[quote=dssaak]There isn't anyone that won't concede that boardless boats are simplier by the fact there are less parts. If your sailing area just isn't condusive to a board boat, I get it. However, making board boats sound like they are so laborious that they are almost not worth having is getting a bit old. 98% of the time, it just isn't true.
My rudders are adjustable from either side of the boat so I can get off the beach without issue. The interesting thing is that I remember having a harder time leaving with the shore with my H14 (the original beach cat (?)) than I ever have had with my F16.
I own them both, I sail them both ... they both have a place. If you can't own multiple boats then take in all the opinions and information, assess your sailing style, needs and area then take the plunge. Worse than arguing about what is the best boat is not getting out there at all.[/quote]
