Corsairs are great boats but they are a different experience that a beach cat. They are faster than monohulls but not as fast as beach cats. If ...

If you are really looking to bring up to 4 people, you might want to look towards a Hobie 21. If sailing alone, by pass the H16 and look for any of t...

Not all factors involved in the decline of cat sailing has to do with a "mature" product. Like geepacks says, there are too many other activities tha...

Time and money ... mostly time.

I have always avocated for a multi boat campaign if you can afford it. I also say that two or three good boats are better than one perfect boat. M...

Hmmm ... there are a lot more questions to be asked and answered but that said, there are a lot more cats out there than just Hobies. The H18 and H1...

As you can see I have a fleet. I have also spent a good deal of time on a 6.0, 5.8 and H21. I have never been on a boardless boat other than the H...

I figured that you meant boardless boats. I was just yanking your chain a bit. Everybody loves their own boat and thinks it is the best. 🙂

Ouch! Best 16ft cat out there? Yea, no. Is it the best boardless 16ft cat out there? I can maybe buy that.

F16 class boat ... best of all worlds. One up, main only with spinnaker. It is a great ride.

If you are in Burlington for July 10th weekend, you should come over to Plattsburgh for the Mayor's Cup Regatta. I am sure it is 40+ years for the...

I grew up down the road from Ithaca and spent a lot of time on Seneca Lake. But I started sailing out of Burlington, VT and that area would be my fi...

Yes, I would consider that Upstate. I am glad you didn't say Westchester. 😉

Upstate NY is a big place. Where are you going to be specifically?

If the Trailex trailer comes with the boat and the boat is as good as it looks, I'd say it is worth the price.

I have a saying ... "Life is short, buy the boat!" I have a friend who has a 5.8 and have been on it many times. It can be an exhilarating ride whe...

If you are not set on a cat, the Weta could an option. A fellow cat sailor of mine bought one and he wasn't disappointed. Not as fast as a perform...

I had one of my best runs on my Tiger with two friends on the wire and me steering from the tramp. As long as they were on the wire, it wasn't crowd...

The Wave and the Getaway look more like a Nacra than a Hobie 16. I think that should say a lot. If you are into one design racing, the H16 is hard...

Hey, Catfan57, what is the word on the Statue Race this year? Is there a date yet?

The F242 does have a rotating mast and daggerboard for better performance. The F242 cabin converts to a very nice double bunk. The big difference ...

You don't need the F31. I have an F242 (much cheaper) and although they say you can be on the water in about 45 minutes, we are still around that 60...

Both the Foretrex 301 and 601 are rated IPX7 so wet conditions are not an issue. If you want information on your wrist, it has to be displayed large...

I have used a Garmin Foretrex 301 for years. It is a bit bulky but not too bad. It does everything that I need right up to club racing. One of...

Our lake is plenty big. We fly everything on all the boats including the Corsair. I wouldn't say the wind is unpredictable but it is shifty a goo...

They made two very good sails for my Mirage but I don't know what experience they have with multihulls.

Unless you are hooking them at a young age, it is an uphill battle for an allotment of people's time in today's busy society.

In my younger days with the H14, I did the one hand hold, one hand cleat thing. I probably could still do it today. However, on the Tiger and Blade,...
