that is what i did. i started with 420 owned for 7 years and then last year bought fx1. am glad that i had some experience with sailing before, because sailing with cats is more demanding than sailing with 420 or similar boat.every thing is hapening soo much faster on cats and your responses must be fast too. i just love it <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

hope you understand what i mean <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

ps:420 is much easier to right then cat and that is important at begining (IMHO)
