How about that, another canuck on the forum! If you're an accomplished sailor, get a boat with as many bells and whistles as possible. I hadn't done any cat sailing for 15 years when I picked up my Tornado, and it's a riot (mind you, I'm not sailing on Lake Ontario). The ability to change the shape of the sails, adjust the slot, etc. makes the boat that much more interesting to sail. Now if I can convince my wife that we NEED a spinnaker . . .
