The information is very helpful, gentlemen. Thanks a million for the input. Much food for thought. I will rejoin the CABB and check out both the F18s and F20s. They race once a month. It has been 2.5 years since I last sailed a cat, so some of these brand names are foreign (no pun intended) to me. The only cats I've seen are Hobie, Nacra, Inter and Prindle.
