I know you are set on a foiling and that would be lots of fun. Though a non-foiling cat has advantages too. I have a N16 and this summer had 3 adults ...

I remove the spinnaker itself each time and roll up the snuffer bag into itself for which I have a cover for.br /> Though I might need to invest into...

There are a few places on the Belgium coast that you can rent cats. When visiting family I have rented from this companyThey are located on the North ...

When I stepped up from a Hobie or Prindle to the F16, it was night and day difference. The hull shapes do make a big difference. Last summer on the la...

I sail an F16 mostly solo during the week but at the weekend I've had 2 adults and 2 kids or 3 adults on it without any issues. With the extra crew I ...

What about a Nacra 15? That's a light weight and fast boat for solo or occasional crew.

Danielt1263, why don't you look at the Hobie Dragoon that's on sale here? That's a better option than the Wave made for faster sailing.

The Wave isn't in my list. It's beam isn't that wide and doesn't come with jib. I was looking at the 14s as well due to the righting. Really wants a b...
