Sunny:

I am doing a lot of looking too. I am looking at getting a starter boat for my 12 yr old grand daughter. She is the one with me in the avatar. She is older now and is at 100 lbs. I have just about decide on a Nacra 4.5. The Wave is a slow boat and I think you would tire of it fast. Buy "Catamaran Racing for the 90's" if you don't already have it. It is the Bible for newbie and old salt alike. we have a good discussion going in our local forum too. www.tcdyc.com

Good Luck,
