[quote=herraw]I owned a H16 for many years, let it go ~ 15 years ago. I am going on vacation with family and want to buy a used cat for the week, so not going to want to spend a lot of money. I could use some advice on what to get. Hobies, Prindles, a Supercat, maybe a NACRA or two are available. Here are the condsiderations:
Will be sailing off south-central west cost of Michigan
Will have 8 folks, all between 120 and 180 lbs. Five experienced sailors.
Want to be able to sail with more than 2 at a time.
Boat can't be too heavy, have to trailer ~ four hundred miles behind 4 cylinder SUV
Not looking for a rocket ship, but want a little adrenalin
Not too wet a ride would be better
The house we have is not on the beach, so i don't know if I'll be able to leave it rigged.
Have always sailed off an atlantic ocean beach or inland lake, don't know if there are any considerations for Great Lakes sailing.
I loved my H16, but it got crowded with more than 2 aboard.
There's a Supercat 17 available at good price, but heard it can be a very wet ride.
Read through some of the forums, and getting some great info, but there's a lot of give and take, and wanted to get specific feedback.
Thanks in advance.
