There are still a number of older A-cats around. I got a wooden one (Cal Fuller 200 pounds) for $1000. It whups all the Hobies around the bouys (stated as an old Hobie racer). I have had more fun with it than years of beach cat racing, and sometimes it supports a Hobie18SX spinnaker, and sometimes hydrofoils. (see my avatar).
