YES!! Sometimes they are hard to get because they are busy building awesome boats, but they are definitely alive and in business. Keep trying! -

So good quality? i have never seen one. As I understand it they must be custom ordered?
The Super Cat 17 (ARC 17) comparable to say a Nacra 5.0 performance wise?
I have also heard the set up is alot simpler than others in its size such as Prindle, Hobie Nacra?
Not inexpensive. i believe about 4k more than a Hobie 16
I cannot find any dealers so i am trying to call.
I hope they don't tell me I have to wait 6-8 weeks for a boat.
I like off the shelf but it may be worth waiting for? -

Their product quality is top notch and their customer service is outstanding. I've had a 17, it's a great boat. Imagine a new one would be much nicer than the early 80's one I had! Please post some pictures if you get one!!

I talked to Tom last week, keep trying. They are a small operation, doing quality work. Be patient and you'll be pleased with the outcome. I have an ARC 22, and have owned a number of SC20s, well engineered craft that are a blast to sail. Check 'em out!
