Awesome. I used to race 5.8's and P-19's on Carlyle. I watched two 5.2's tbone each other so hard, we couldn't separate the boats until they were onsh...

I bought a stock jib and a 130% jib for my Stiletto 27 from Schurr in 2012. They were both made from diamond cut dacron and both sails worked really w...

My father had a Dingo cat in the late 70s. It was a great boat. We had a lot of fun on that boat, but when we moved to the Prindle 16 in 1979, the per...

Thanks guys, I think I'll focus on other boats. The tramp is shot and the headsail is gone. The boat looks like it might be a good ride for someone sk...

Do you like steak or do you like chicken? I like them both. I bought an S2 27b years ago. It was a decent boat, but I missed cat sailing. I sold it wh...

I raced P-19's for years. Great boat, but not nearly durable enough. I moved to a Nacra 5.8, and that same boat I sailed at the 1987 Nationals in Ft. ...

I sold my Stiletto 27 at the nationals in 2013. I have since bought a Prindle 18 classic. Although initially I regretted selling it, I have spent much...

I also raced P-19's for years as well. It's a great boat, with the fwd bulkhead upgrades, but when the wind goes over 15mph, the Nacra points higher b...

I currently own a P-18 classic and I love to solo it. When I sail with crew, I tend to take light people. I sailed a Nacra 5.8NA for years and conside...

A friend of mine just sold his 21SC for $4500 here in Kansas. If you are gonna spend that kind of cash, maybe you should look into a Stiletto 23. Ther...

I'm trying to figure out where I'm gonna get $80 grand.

The older I get, the more I like the Wave and the Getaway. If easy cat sailing is what you desire, get the Wave, if fast sailing is what you want, get...

My father bought me a used one for my 16th birthday in 1985. I sailed and raced it for 2 years. It's like a cross between a Nacra and a Prindle 15. Th...

They are the same extrusion.

Do they still make Okewinds? Those were the best you could buy if you found yourself trapping on a slippery 5.8.

In the end, I think it means less kids sailing, which cannot help in growing the sport.Edited by p8dawg on Dec 01, 2015 - 11:17 AM.

I owned one when I was a teen, and I was able to beat P 15s, and correct out over most of the other single handed cats. Mine only had a boomless main,...

It isn't just the monohulls. I spent the season on my Prindle 18 after years of sailing a Stiletto 27. At first, I truly regretted my decision. After ...

My Dad had one in the early 90's. It was a blast until you had to drag it up on the beach. It was eventually chewed up in dry storage by a plain roami...

Stiletto 23 if you don't care about portability. I have been sailing with 6 of us on the wings, and two of those on the wire. I never felt that I was ...

I sold my Stiletto 27 at the Nationals in 2013, and I bought a P-18 classic again after years of sailing on faster, more sophisticated catamarans. I d...

Dave is exactly right. A beach can make all the difference in the world. I would also caution you not to underestimate the Hobie 18. It's a bull in he...

I have a used Smyth jib and a used Danger jib, both measured good at nationals in 1997 and 1998 if you need head sails.Edited by p8dawg on Apr 03, 201...

Last I heard, the sailing club at Hefner had some cats for sale.

Saw the worst T-bone ever on that lake. A Nacra 5.8 and a Prindle 19 became one floating entity for a while. Not sure who won the protest, but they we...

I owned a freestyle 474 years ago. It didn't have a jib like the one pictured, but it was a fantastic solo boat, and it would consistently beat P-15s ...

This is actually his second 5.2, but the years between have made it too much boat for him and his Grandson. I have looked at the boat, and it's a soli...
