Sounds like you got yourself a good boat there. Here in Oz you would pay about the same for a good Mari on a trailor. Is it sloop rigged? What sail No does it carry and are the sails colored or white? Check out the other web pages as well as the NSW assocoation pages[Although they give the best info as well as contacts.]
I sailed a Maricat for many years and the club I belong to has about nine racing around. You can catch a glimps of the waters where we sail in the attachment A great allround boat in the 14' division.When I dont have a crew for my big cat See attachment] I often wish I still had a Mari for single handled sailing. I also think it would be a buzz to put a spinnaker on one, like the Mystere 4.3 has.
