You guys have been a great help. I've considered the Prindle 18 before and weighed the pros and cons against the Hobie 18. The Prindle won. Now it's down to the Prindle18 and the Hobie Getaway. As I plan to do some camping on deserted islands along the Nova Scotia coastline, I like the Getaway but there are probably more Prindles's on the used boat market.
I have another question. When trailering a catamaran on long distance (in excess of 1000 miles) is it best to collapse the hulls? I would think they'd catch a lot of wind on the highway.
ED; Guns scare the crap out of me. I have relatives in the RCMP. They showed me their guns to me once and I was very nervous just looking at them.
