Which Cat?

   Anything F18 then if your really up for it.
You may want to get a Dart 18 to test yourself before splashing out on loads of money. Sell it on after when you want more challenges.

	crew weight is 26 stone, and experience is limited to dart 16, with experience on yachts too. However, were both fit, stupidly fearless and learn quickly. Cheesy i know but i think we could cope with a challenge, its the fine trimming and technical side of things that we would fall down on. It is more for fun than anything else

	How heavy are you and your crew? And what is your experience in sailing and in cats? Edited by Worthy

	Hi folks I forumed about 8 months ago about what would be the best cat for me. I'm now definitly ready to buy. Budget is up to 5k for something special but would rather spend less.Im looking at 2nd hand cats on the market and am tempted by the Hurricane. They seem reasonably priced with good performance. What are the pitfalls with this boat, if at all, and what is the opinion of our friends here on hobie 18 pacifics and hobie 20 s. Bearing in mind me and crew are not bothered by racing at class level, but just want to blast around as fast as possible, without too much fuss and the occasional long distance race weekend. Thanks
