Yes, I am a little partial to that Cat! Runs as good as it looks!

I bought this cat (Dart/Spark/sprint) literally , from a little old lady from Yuma, and was excited to pick it up. I really enjoy single handing, and the prospect of a 220 lb cat that I can easily launch off the beach is a real plus. I have a N5.0 that I use as my single hander now, but when I have to move it around on land, it's a bitch. Especially uphill on soft sand.

I took the Spark15 out once to try it out and found that, single handed, it performed very well. I weigh 183lb. If I added 2 small children, it was a dog.
Beam reaching, single handed,I could almost keep up with N5.0s as long as the wind was up. When the wind was below 10mph, the boat wouldn't do well. Very wet ride, which I miss, having moved on to bigger and more modern boats.
I love spinnaker, and would love to try one on the Spark15, but past experience with skeg hulls and spinnakers, they don't mesh, so I won't attempt it.
I believe it rates 916 , I am used to Portsmouth, and i haven't figured out how that converts.
I have been on the fence as to weather I should keep the boat or sell it. The biggest problem being that there is no one in these parts sailing ultra high Portsmouth boats, ie, I would be looking at a lot of transoms. I know, that's irrelevant, but not where I like to be.

I am always keeping an eye out for a good deal on an F16 or equivalent. Mosquito looks like a great boat and a great class! Sadly, there are none here to be had.

Maybe I'll keep the little Cat around for a while and add it to the stable.
