Thanks for jumping in with all your comments. I really do appreciate "every" post. I am going to sift through the numerous cats that could fit the bill. The first step is looking at a cat that was designed to be raced single-handed. That is my priority and would be a good place to start. Otherwise I will be dealing with numbers "adjustment" right out of the box. Same place I am now. Then, it would be nice to have the spinnaker. As opposed to "adding" a spinnaker, the boat should be designed with a spinnaker in mind. Again, thanks to everyone. I am well on my way. It is not as if I am boatless. LOL Dave
