Brian,



Yes, a used cat the way to go unless you have the bucks to go new. The upcoming seasons fall, winter and spring (here in NJ) allows for the time to really put on the ritz concerning a project.



There is many locations and boards for cats, especially Ebay in which a Texas fellow has one for for bid.



I also was interested in sailing solo, so for massive ease of use a "14" was elected of vintage era. It was also elected it must be a project.
