The Mumbles cat fleet is growing fairly quickly at the moment; you could post a free add on our web site; you never know...  more and more interest is being shown in single handers becaus many of us work weird hours.

You call that cheap!  Yes, after numerous phone calls to the Dinghy Store that's the one they iterated to in the end (£13800), but I would be interested to see what somebody else got quoted...  that was ready to race, including VAT, excluding delivery.  By comparison, a new R2R AHPC Flyer via Pieter Saarberg is around £10.5k and is just a ferry ride away to Zandvoort...  A new R2R XJ is £9200 but is a fair treck away to Rimini.  A good option is a second had boat via Pieter S; he usually has good boats for sale...   edit: apart from now; the WC has cleaned hi out.

well i havent seen a A2 but the bows are no where near as sexy as the Aussie Flyer !

those boats are super quick so i would say get one of them! there is better second hand deals!

lifes to short to sail slow boats!

Has anybody got any experience sailing a Nacra A2; specifically are those bows as twitchy as they look?  I know Pete Melvin won the worlds in one recently in predominately light airs (I think) but he's a rock star and I'm not, so I'm really interested in how mere mortals find the boat...

Latest price from Dinghy Store (Datchet) is a whopping £13,800 ex delivery.

Sexy

I'd also be very interested in how single-handed F16s do against A-Classes, do the A-Classes usually win or visa versa; or does it simply depend on the sailor...?
