Really, Chris, your response is just out of control and inappropriate. Get a grip, it's just a boating opinion. It's not like he insulted your girlfriend.

Nimord stated, "I will not be using this for racing; more so for family fun sails... It will only be used in the summer months and will reside on the beach."

Put the following boats in order of best choice for a "leave it on the beach" family boat:

GCat 5.7
Hobie 18
Hobie 16
I-20 (carbon mast and spinnaker!)
N 6.0NA (huge sail plan including a giant non-furling jib)

Hmmm, which are the LEAST sensible? He might want something more zippy but an I-20 family boat?
Nimrod, think again. NEITHER boat is the best choice.
