Thom:
Our Solcat 18 was a 1978 or 9 (I think).
It really was a fun boat....with lots of forward floatation, due to those very long bows in front of the front beam.
It's low freeboard made for some exciting, wet and wild whaaa-hooo sailing....and there were lots of rigging adjustments to play with.
What did you do with yours after its unfortunate demise...???
Regards and Happy Thanksgiving to all.....
