[quote=charlescarlis]Sticking to traditional beachcats:
High buoyancy, holds several adults, etc. then likely you're looking at a Hobie Getaway. It has gobs of flotation, but isn't really a "performance catamaran". Still, can be loads of fun. I've had my whole family on one during vacation (4 adults) and it sailed pretty good - not flying a hull, but you certainly can fly a Getaway hull in the right conditions. Great resell value at the moment.
My boat has had 6 older adults on it and can still fly a hull, but then it's a bit more complicated and a LOT bigger in every way at 21'.
Both boats have wings on them, which allows for more comfort and more people, though it limits your selection on boats. Now if money wasn't a big deal, then a NACRA 570 with wings would be the ultimate ticket... However, I think you're looking at a Getaway.[/quote]
