Looks like Hans is on the move again. Great news it will be interesting to see an new era for G-Cat.

You sail the old G-Cats a little different in good wind it does not need the dagger board with the full knife-edge of the keel you may loose a few degrees - maybe but on a reach, off wind, chop, waves and the rest of the points of sail it's fast and cuts though the water. No bouncing, slapping, and pounding. You sail speed not the rhumb line.

So with an updated model that will be competitive with current market boats it will make for great chat on the web.

Just a thought I wonder how many of the current State of the Art cats will be around still sailin' in 28 years like the G-Cat 5.7?
