Hi
I live in Santa Barbara, California and am planning to buy a beach permit this year to allow me to keep a cat on the beach. I need some help and opinions on what to avoid and what cat is best.

I've been looking at a Sol Cat, a Hobie 14, 16, and a Prindle 15,16,18 and a Nacra 5.2(but I think it is gone and most have been out of my price range).

I am really a pretty good sailor and where I have summers off, I'll be out on it a lot. I've been sailing monohulls for years. I don't know which cat to get and which to avoid. I need something that is not very expensive and I'm using this "Just for fun", but I will probably use it a lot.

Thank you for your help and oppinions.
Mike
