MarkMT, the cat on my avatar is NOT the Alpha Omega F14, that is the Alpha Omega 5.5m that we manufactured and sold throughout the '80's - standard as sloop rigged, sailed two up on trapeze with spinnaker - It's dimensions were almost identacal to the F18 made now, except that at that time cat sailors in general, frowned on the use of a spinnaker on a cat, we were told by many cat sailors that, "
spinnakers don't work on cat", and comments in a similar vein. My how times change??
