Which Cat for lightweights?

   Hi,
the potential issue with T-foils is when you get tangled amongst the moorings... even though I have learnt to steer clear of yachts and suchlike, there are still times when a submerged line will grab you. Without T-foils, rudder kicks up (mostly!),... with T-foils, no chance. Don't get me wrong, if there weren't quite so many of them off our beach, I would love to use T-foils!
I would have no problem recommending a F16 without T-foils for use on our estuary, Spitfire or otherwise. We have 2 Spitfires at Dee SC, so it might make sense to go for one of those. No matter really, we race on handicap against the F18s etc anyway.
Just come and have a go!
Simon
