No doubt. But it would also require more work to rig and sail and require more space for storage.

In addition to being easy to set up ( it uses what is basically a wind surfer mast, weighs 9 lbs.)the Weta tacks more quickly than cats so the tactics of playing shifts is relatively more important. The Weta is fun and easy, far less demanding than a cat. I turned 64 last May, fun and easy is beginning to trump performance.
