Mike, Thom and Andrew,



I too have been following the F-22 with interest. I fall into that catagory of dinghy sailor/keel boater mostly, but have been sailing some on a P18-2 and a T4.9 and love it. However, I live in the SF Bay Area and have not convinced my wife that the water is warm enough to go cat sailing here, but, she loves it in Hawaii. ; ) She really likes the speed of the cat and the comfort of the trampoline (somehow my 470 dinghy just does not have the same kind of place to lie down). So I have been looking at small tri's.



The F-24 is attractive but pricey, and I would like to get something that I do not need a truck to pull (buying a boat and a new car ups the cost of ownership considerably). So I am intersted in the F-22. But in my travels I have also found something called the Magnum 21 by a company called Virus. I was wondering if any of you had ever heard of it? From the pictures, I would be worried about some of the fittings in the sustained high winds/waves we have out here.



Do you all have any other suggestions for boats to look at?



Thanks for your thoughts and I enjoyed reading your posts.
