Which cat?

   Im looking to get a cat but not sure what would suit me better. Im not looking to spend loads (£600 or less) and was looking at either a dart 18 or a hobie 14/16. I will be either sailing solo or with my small kids on board. There may be times when i wish to take other more grown up passengers.
I weigh around 13 stone and my kids are currently 8 and 4 though they only both weigh less than 3 stone each.
Thanks in advance for you replies.

Owen

	Hi Owen, Dart 18 all the way in my opinion. Cheers Andrew

	Dart 18 will suit you fine. Good value and good fun at your weight singlehanded. Ideally suited to adults and kids as long as you don't scare them in a real blow! Another option could be a Dart / Sprint 15. Lots of combinations to play around with jib/no jib, trapeze etc, but you might find that its a bit under powered when other adults are on board
