Ahhh... You've got to love forums, and the enthusiastic helpful people on them!
Thanks all for your advice so far. I'd be VERY tempted to get an H16, but I would become a statistic, so I'd better get some more experience on a PT or Windrush first.
There are no Windrush's for sale in NZ at the moment, but my neighbor has some kind of cat, so I should start by selling all my windsurfing gear, and getting friendly with my neighbor <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
Here's a couple of links to a couple of the PTs I've been considering considering...

I am an amatureness - but not a complete freshy. I've sailed cats a few times in light winds, but never anything really fun. I also used to sail Optimists when I ran summer camps. I've spent a couple of years windsurfing, and I used to sail with the family a lot on a Davidson M20 Trailor Sailor. Still - I don't know much, and definitly don't know any of the technical stuff - like the right technique for righting!
Anyway, thanks again for all your help... I'll keep taking advice, and look forward to parting with some money!
