Still not sure if we will make the investment in another cat- The leadsled 24 could be back in the water and racing fairly easily.

But if we do, I want to be competitive in DPN open racing and reduce the athletic ability needed at the helm position.

So- thanks to the local cat sailors a P18 is a good possibility.

The plan-
1. Like the simple sail controls- not as tune-able but I need to keep my head out of the boat for both safety and tactical reasons.

2. Install front tramp. I have been spoiled by the G-Cat.

3. Wings so skipper can hike/sit.

4. Hooter setup for off the wind as the P18 is a good reaching boat but not so good upwind. And maybe upwind in light air (normal state of affairs on Lake Murkey)

5. Squaretop- but this would probably be a long ways off.

P18 DPN = 74.8
wings modifier 0.995
Spin modifier 0.960

After mods= 71.45.

And I will check to make sure the mast is sealed properly this time...

So what do you guys think? Our total crew weight is around 390lbs.
