[quote=nacraman57][quote]I don't really what the trouble of stepping a mast each time I sail the cat. (How long does it take to do that with a small cat?)
[/quote][quote]You need a hobie 16 [/quote]I agree with kdj. The Hobie 16 is a great boat for the beginner as well as seasoned racers. Good used ones are reasonable, they're found everywhere and parts are easy to get. As far as stepping the mast, I have done this by myself many times with a combination of rope, and bungee chord. I can arrive at the beach and be set up in 30-40 minutes. The other day I was cruising youtube when I found a clip of a guy using a tilt trailer for mechanical advantage while stepping the mast single-handed. I was so impressed I am going to try and adopt this method myself. I bet I could knock quite a few minutes off my setup time.[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO4RxwvjKtM[/url][/quote]
