I'm not into the racing scene, but I like to go fast and cruise around and do some camping. Currently I sail a G-Cat 5.7M which is very close to being perfect at those requirements, but lacks storage area and a place to get out of the weather.

I've found a Reynolds Cat 21. While I'd prefer a boardless design for the shallow waters in and around Tampa Bay, I'm not hung up on it. I was wondering what these boats are like, is there really enough room in the hulls to sleep, store the sails and gear, rig a stereo system, blender, and a small fridge?

Is there any way to store them on the beach and move them around with cat-trax (preferably powered!)

Can they sail faster than the wind?
