[quote=MN3]It has been sailed from our beach for many years. it was owned by my friend Steve for many years. He sold it when he wanted a newer design and more competitive cat (got a P19mx). It was owned by a (local) guy named Smitty before Steve owned it. They both kept it in good shape.
As i said above, it is a great heavy air boat. It suffers a bit in light air... but all boats do (perhaps this design is a smidge worse in light air than others)
I know first hand it sails extremely straight and fast with no one on board (i recommend an anchor vs just pulling it up on the beach (esp in raising tides)
It was a great boat for him and his wife, easy to rig, no spreaders, sailed well, Could step the mast single handed.
its lack of dagger boards made it a great cat for St Josephs sound and old clearwater bay (with all it's shallows). and its boomless design was also a nice feature
he had a Tornado sail cut down to fit, not sure of the current sail plan
any other specific questions?<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Aug 06, 2012 - 09:48 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
