Would you recomend it as a starter cat? Growing into it skill wise? Rigging one at the beach with one person?

Not by yourself. You need to be around people with experience. You wouldn't believe the difference in performance, particularly under spinnaker, so there's no point in going into it.

Tell us where you are, we'll try to match you up with someone.
