where are you sailing?

that's a lot of boat for a newbie if it going to be used on a windy bit of coast with frequent strong winds that blow to sea

on a small lake with generally light gusty winds i was 2 years getting to grips with a 13 foot sailing dingy before getting my 17foot nacra 5.2

at 6'2" and 175lb? i have been unable to right the cat solo when it's gone over

in fact i wanted to take the cat out today but decided the wind was too stong and the water too cold so i took the mono

the wind kept building and i was more than happy with that decision

if it's so cheap by all means buy it and sail it on really light wind days. not a bad idea to get something else too if you have the space, then in a couple of years sell the 1 you are using the least
