The Supercat 17 is a terrific boat. Make sure the hulls have no soft spots, the sails have some life, and that you get all the parts. I don't need a booat, but would be tempted to get one of those at that price. Getting new tires, and repacking the bearrings is probably essential if you tow it any distance. Try to hook up with a loccal fleet. They'll save you lots of time and money by sharing experience. Many fleets will teach you to sail. Keep us posted.
