Dacarls, how is volume of those wooden hulls? I'm too heavy for A-cat, unfortunately. It is 220 lbs body and another 50-60 lbs of gear and water.
I did 2003 Everglades Challenge on wooden A-cat. Didn't show any spectacular time. I had all sorts of fun, broke dolphin striker while launching the boat, run into low bridge and wedged the boat between pilings. Crashed one GPS between my knee and crossbar while navigating Coxambas pass. Another GPS was completely dead from water penetration already. It was fun sailing in 10000 island area in complete dark without GPS, not really knowing where I was. With wind from rear quarters I tried to go slowly for a change. I actually stopped at some campsites and asked for direction. Smashed both boards. Get bombarded by school of mullet, with fishes hitting me into face and jumping on a trampoline. I slept on trampoline with the boat on water two nights, just had no place to pull the boat on a shore. Waves were washing over me – boat was so low in water. Run over a manatee, now it was scary. Got hypothermic around Cape Sable, in very worm weather - I didn’t want to change into drysuit with sun going down and I was trying to catch as much light as I could. As a result I lost almost a day – getting on a beach, building a fire and then not having any will power to continue into night.
Overall, it was remarkable trip
Anyway, got any pics of hulls?
How heavy this Prindle 15 thing?
