I put a Forte carbon mast , dynex dux standing rigging, new hooter/screecher, carbon spin pole on my 23. sails like a dream, really fast, but it has to blow over 15 to get really interesting. I love it. Sailed against Corsairs/RC 27 and many modified S27's-30's at Florida suncoast multihull rendesvous. When it blew, only the RC was faster. Boat rated 0 and sailed that # when it blew over 15, but in light stuff i got killed by boats with more waterline.

Hopefully there'll be a beach cat class at this great event next year. Sarasota is a great place to sail
