Lot of boat for the money, being made from 'you know what' they are good beach boats.

my other thought was an RS Quest - I'm sure some on here would take the piss though if I ever went through with it.

yep - your shortlist makes sense from a UK perspective. I'd pretty much be the same - H2, Finn or Phantom if racing was the aim. Also an OK I guess.... they do look like quality bits of kit.
But this purely for beach sailing out of a marina basin - potentially dragging it around in shoredump, so I won't be repeating the iGRF RS100 experience. A cat has the option to be beached or left at anchor for a short while (onshore, swell, 12-15 knts av.)... I had planned to sort something out for this summer, but for obvious reasons, it might have to wait a year. I was just interested in user feedback on the M14, if it's a dog I wouldn't be interested. I hadn't realised they were even really available outside of the US...

TT - for me as a 95kg gorilla the options were Finn, Phantom and H2 for hiking singlehanders with no kite which is what I wanted. I guess you could add M14 to that list if it can carry weight (TBC). If you wanted a beach boat for blasting about more than racing then a Cat is a good option and the kids love them as they go fast, can be quite "wet" and you have a feeling of flying. My kids always want to take the cat out when we go on a beach holiday!

yep - that's my thoughts.
No racing around here other than Lasers, so really weighing up monohull 'beach boat' options that can carry a bit of weight and a kid or two if the weather is nice. Aero and D-Zero don't really tick those boxes, still think a cat is probably the answer.

I have not, I did call the distributor to ask if they had a demo back in 2019 and was somewhat sneered at. I was just curious really rather that genuinely interested so I did not bother to follow up. I was happy to see another singlehander that says it can carry people that are bigger than the Laser or Aero were designed for and was interested to see if it really could.
