[quote=cattrap][quote=danielt1263][quote=wildtsail]Out of curiosity how did you come to the conclusion that the RS Cat is too slow? Definitely slower than the Topcat and Nacra, but shouldn't be any slower than the Topaz, and it can be pushed much harder in bigger wind conditions with the extra volume modern design similar to race boats compared to the Yves Loday hulls that remind me of the Extreme 40s designed to pitchpole.[/quote]
Based on schrs ratings. The ratings below are based on Main & spinnker (no jib because I mostly sail 1-up.)
I kind of graphed them out below. the further down, the faster the boat. The '.' gaps help show relative speed differences.

@danielt1263 I didn't know about the Topcat until I just looked it up. Looks like I should move to Europe, given that both the Topcat and Nacra 460 are sold there.
I saw that there was a Mystere 4.3 for sale on this site. But I couldn't find it in the list of the SCHRS ratings.[/quote]
