Started cat sailing last year with a cheap Solcat 18. Lot's of fun learning a new game but looks like one of the hulls is toast as it is pretty soft forward of the beam. Looking for another solcat for a parts boat or maybe try something different.
As I live in the mountains of British Columbia and sail on a river my selection is limited by geography, time and money. Within a 4hr drive and budget of $1000 I have found
Hobie 16 many to choose from
Hobie 14 a few
Seaspray 15 very common
Gcat 5.0 kind of cool looking
Solcat 15 single hand version of the 18
Venture 15 ?
Dingo 15 ?
Unicorn 18 project boat
Paper tiger 14 looks like fun
kind of a interesting selection
