Hey .. Im not sure if you guys remember me or not coz I havent been on for ages. I was actually ordering an A2 or at least in the middle of it before I left due to personal reasons (mostly war and car crashes) and I wasnt able to go through with the order.

Well to get to the point Im still set on getting an A-class cat but it seems that theres an A3 now? though it doesnt seem to be that different from an A2 .. but I also heard about the australian "tool" ? any other recommendations?

Some basic info:
Id mostly be sailing solo
My weight is 70kg (170cm tall)
The wind isnt very strong over here so Im going to need something that can handle light winds
Waves here arent too high
Price isnt really that big of an issue

and well thats it i guess.

Thanx

Doug

Zee,

If you want information about THE TOOL than please look at www.catamaranparts.nl and there is some information about the boat. If you want more info on the boat please mail us or phone and we are able to help you further on this.
The A3 is indead there and there are some changes done on the hull but i do not know on the moment if this brought some better performance. I know that Glenn is going fast on the Flyer MK2 but the point is that this guy is going fast on every type of boat so it is difficult to say if the boat is better or just the sailor.

Regards,
Hans

If I remember correctly, the A3 has the main (front) beam and the daggerboards moved back about 150mm from were they were on the A2.

hi have you seen the old nacra 18 square, its 11 foot wide so ideal for somone light and extreamly fast,
do you racing? what boats are you racing against?

the a class cats are great, my only problem with them is that they are slower than the f18 and tornado's so if you wanted to race them you may want somthing quicker

but i am sure you'll have fun with whatever you get

thanx guys

rictorn: I dont plan on getting one of the F18s because I'd mostly be sailing alone so I want something thats not too hard to handle or right if I need to.

So far it seems that the nacra A3 is the best choice and Im think of going for glaser sails .. any recommendations on which type of sail to order or other upgrades?

In light air (like what Zee said she sails in), the A-class wins. It moves when no other boats can.
