Welcome to the world of fast boats! By the way, nobody on a cat with daggerboards needs to back the jib to tack. Most of the new cats have self tacking jibs, they tack so fast you cannot get in, across and out on the wire fast enough! That along with the spinnaker makes these new cats light years ahead of the Hobie 16's, which were great back in the day, but I feel gave cats somewhat of a bad name in the mono world (they gave them the idea that cats can't point, always pitch pole and take forever to tack).
