I have had my FX for 3 years and have enjoyed it very much...it may be havier than the A-cats but in the caribbean its not a hinderance..I have no problem righting it...then Im 99kg(220lbs)..it sails very well in 15-20kts wind and 3-5ft seas...and tacking is very easy for a uni-rig...I recomend it very highly...
