Hello everybody!
I am very excited to be announcing that I just bought a beautiful 5M G-Cat here in daytona beach!
The boat has been professionally respray painted. The sails are crisp, tramps are in great condition, trailer is in good condition, two sets of cat trax, and great rigging.
I will be sailing on the east coast of Florida, mostly in the ocean down next to ponce inlet.
Any rigging suggestions or anything I can follow to help me out with rigging?
Thank you everybody!
O yea I paid $950 :)
Just bought mint G-cat!

Also if anybody is in the area that would like to assist in showing me the ropes and how to rig that would be great! -

Anybody out there? lol
I have the boat back here at my house. I need to rig up the tramps. Any specific cord I should use to do this? Any suggestions? One piece for each tramp or use 3 sets for each? All rigging suggestions would be great! -

Hi greg, welcome to the club.
I would recommend a few pieces of line for each tramp. this way if the line breaks / cut the whole tramp isn't at risk of failing. Any NEW xls (extra low stretch) will work or you can go big and get Robline Dingy Control line (has a dynema core) or similar.
other general advice: find local sailors. ask for help, go for rides, find another g-cat and lean how they rig
