I might as well add the Tornado a few pages back in the ads. That would give me an A, B & C Cat. Anybody got a D Boat laying around?

Oh for a small lottery. Cruise up north and pick up the A Cat here in the Ads. Then up to Roton Point to play on it, then bring home Patient Lady II...

Yves Parlier built an ORMA 60 planing cat, Hydraplaneur. He made it even more complicated with masts on each hull. I'd have to dig real deep into th...

You would need all of the talent on this website to run it.

Have you been to the Sarasota Sailing Squadron? Been there for the Labor Day Regatta and the Buzzelli Rendevous. Excellent facilities and friendly f...
