[quote=samc99us][quote=catsalor]I sail hobie 16s and 18s and am intrigued by the Acat class of boat, is a foiling Acat a pain in the butt to sail compared to a classic Acat, is it worth stepping up to an Acat. I am 60 and think that a cat at half the weight of a hobie is a great idea,any thoughts.[/quote]

I will say that if you aren't prepared to practice a lot, wipeout a healthy amount, and sail comfortably from the trapeze on all points of sail a foiler probably isn't for you. A lot also depends on where you sail, the foiler can handle chop but is much happier in flat water and steady breeze than the floater.[/quote]
