Wish I had read this on Friday - or in fact the replies!!

Am new Cat owner of 5.2 and had my first flip on Sunday. Found my mastdoes leak and had to get help to right. Really embarassing as I am a regular at the club as a windsurfer.

It may help you to know that I am 100kg, 225 lbs and find that the NACRA is powerful enough to whip along and lifts a hull in 8-10 knots even with my limited technique and baggy mainsail. WIth crew over 50kg its a little different, but still great fun.

My boat is about the same vintage - sail 1872.

Cheers
