Which Cat?

   with all the pros and cons considered, ended up with a hobie pacific which im really chuffed with. the swaying factors included, boomless for my young son and the wings make him a bit more secure, my inexperience as i am still learning the ropes, my at present lack of interest in racing and its ability to be beached/its not to fragile. i can see myself stepping up in a couple of years to more performance but the boat that i found is fab. thanks for everyones input

	Enjoy the seasons sailing. The best thing about boats is they can change hands easily and there are loads of options. Once youve mastered the pacific, you can move up? Where abouts are you as I think there is one at our club Marconi SC (Essex) home of the East Coast Piers Race (long distance)!!!

	Netleys a nice club, i sail just up southampton water at weston sailing club, on my hurricane 4.9 and hobie dragoon. If you want a long distance race in the solent do the fast cat race around the solent, starts from weston, down to gillkicker, then to cowes then to hurst and home. I'll be looking for your sails when i'm racing!!
