Don't know much about the Inters since we have hardly any on our beach...but I once checked w/Mark Biggers of the CatHouse, and he told me that the I-17 is rarely sold in the u.s., only the I-17R (Carbon Mast & Spi w/snuffer etc.). We have one of those on our beach but the guy is new at it and hardly ever soloes it, and then only in light winds. So, just for that reason the boat's always upright and doesn't seem to move very fast, LOL!

If I were the owner and didn't use it for racing, I'd put another tramp on it and use it as a 2-man boat.

It would be interesting to know if you could put another tramp line on this boat (putting the bungee cord thru the front cross bar) without screwing up the physics of the boat.

Has anyone tried this?
