The top cat is a great ride and a very sensible boat for a new to cat guy who has good skills in mono but wants to go faster.
Normally I would say that dagger boards are good but this boat is fast as and sensiibly thought out. You can run it into a hard bit and the rudder casings just flick out.
Like a much better and much faster Hobie getaway.
Great family boat. Not too much spiderweb on deck to get caught up in with the kids. Great to cruise on and beach.
The only reason I can think of to go for a different boat is if you want to fleet race.
Another mono feels the force and comes over to the dark side.
