Any feedback on this? I need some collective wisdom to design this database. What would you expect to find in a "guide to all beachcats ever produced".
MN3, I'd be interested in getting a copy of that full brochure as well. There is more info on the 5.0 on there than I have found anywere else. Does it say what year the brochure is from?

It would be nice to have a table that users could enter personal opinion and feedback about any boat.
Maybe info about changes over time. for instance certain years had hulls one way then later they changed, got lighter, heavier, foamcore not foamcore.etc.... Early P16 had wire jib later had zipper.

i require a section that shows VERY hot chicks on catamarans. all new forum members should be required to post new ones to get in (the club house)
I guess there can be a section for the female members of this forum as well, but i got a feeling that is not as mission critical to them... who knows i could be wrong.
EdiT: ok kidding aside, perhaps a user area or forum for each cat model so interested parties can discuss each cat... talk modifications, link to pictures of their cool floating keg they placed in the hull, etc.
There are female members of this forum? Crap I better start minding my language more!
There are female members!!! and some of em can sail circles around us.... :), but keep in mind.. they also have the "mouth like a sailor" so anything you can post, i am sure they have heard or yelled

I would like a place where you can put rigging measurements! I know they change over time but that would be a great reference!
