i have the prindle 16, but want a monohull for "dryer" sailing. my wife used to sail on an ensign. they are pretty boats, but a bit slow for my taste. i want to keep the cat and get a monohull, but i think i won't have enough time for 2 boats. i get to use the cat once of twice a month as it is. now, maybe if i convince her that children will like the beachcat better than being confined to a monohull for most of the day...
