Honestly, i think it looks like an 18HT. this bad boy has a spin and last time i checked the wild and crazy A-cats don't fly a kite. whats up with that????? how can you sail a CAT and NOT have a spin. If i had 2 logs i would put a spin on it. flying downwind, trapped out....nuff said
You have to experience it to understand...when you can still fly a hull downwind - you just don't need a spinnaker.
I don't think most folks realize the the power to weight of the A class. 18 feet, 150 sq ft sail and only 165lbs! Verrry efficient.
