So, Mary- Where is our first female-designed catamaran/sailboat? A LIGHT modernized Hobie 14 or LIGHT Hobie 17 comes to mind...(with puce sails, a little flower sconce on the mast...Ooop X out those last 2 thoughts) . Seriously now, we have had good women skippers in Florida on Hobie 17s, and Cheryl Johnson just gave up her Hobie 18 for a 14. What about the teeny Mystere 4.3- too heavy? Prindle 15s are very rare now. Carla Schaefer is the only one I've seen on a 165 pound A-cat. Why izzit?
