Hello everyone,

Haven't been on here for a long while. I am seeing if someone can recommend the right catamaran. I owned a Hobie 18 for a few years, then moved to a 35 ft. mono, and now would like to go back to a cat. The main reason for selling the 18 was that I was sailing mostly solo, and raising the mast was a pain. My kids were very little so they didn't enjoy it, and they did not like the mono at all either. I would like to get something that is easy to sail (meaning no daggerboards), fast and fun, light, forgiving, and somewhat inexpensive. I have sailed the Wave, but thought they were kind of slow. I saw a nacra 450 but don't know much about them. I was also looking at the Hobie Getaway. I remember seeing many good comments on the F16's but think they are probably more than I want to pay. Anyway, any comments or suggetions would be appreciated.
