Just an addendum....

I also had a Solcat.

I got it along with 23 other catamarans in a package deal...that I couldn't resist....

Boy, you should have heard what my wife said when I sprung that on her....

Anyway, that Solcat was very old, mistreated, neglected before I got it.

We fixed it up and it was a great sail and we had lots of fun on it.

It sailed good, but was always a very wet ride with its minimal freeboard that always caused the front beam to catch water when we were hull flying and trapped out

The hulls were so soft, it finnally folded a hull just in front of the front beam.

We figured that boat was down for the count.

However, try as we may, with it's form core construction, it just wouldn't sink...and go to a fitting watery grave.

Wwe had to finally salvage it from the lake.

It broke my heart when my son took a skill saw to it so it would fit in the trash truck that took it to it's final resting place.
