Eric, Thom and OBX,

Thanks for the thoughts! I know that a wetsuit/drysuit is going to be needed, unfortunately, I am also learning that even with either of those, I am facing a general aversion to getting firehosed with cold water.

I was sort of hoping that I could find something with bigger hull volume that could have two personalities, pretty dry when not pushed, fast, fun and wet when pushed.

Well I guess that the search will continue. I will probably get up and try out the SuperCat in any event. I have also found a potential lead on a Reynolds 21. From what I have learned it probably does not sail as well, but might fit my critera a bit better.

And Eric, thanks again for the offer for some warm sailing. I will have to take you up on it. I am just still looking for something to have here in the bay.

Thanks and fair winds,

Drew
