"As far as A-Cat fragility, check out the waves and winds that these boats are sailed in Australia. Any boat can have holes put in it by trap hooks. I once ripped the side of a friends I-20 for over two feet with my hook." By 49er



Sorry burst your bubble but the A-Cats are that fragile and just because they can handle waves in Aus. does not mean they are durable. In our area the A-Cat guys are buying new boats every year or two, and it is not just because they want the newest and latest A-Cat. I have seen their old A-Cats and they do not hold up. The guys who buy these boats know this and accept it as part of A-Catting.



By the way the FX-one weighs 275 lbs so maybe you are not reading your metric scale right or need to get a new scale. In addition, why in the heck do you call yourself 49er? Are you a 49er football fan or a 49er sailor.
