Are you in Canada or the U.S.? If you are in Canada, you might want to consider a Mystere, since they are manufactured in your neck of the woods.

The Mystere 6.0 has more buoyancy and freeboard than any catamaran its size. And I think the Mystere 5.7 does not even have daggerboards, which is an extra easy factor.

(I think I'm right about the no-board thing on the 5.7, aren't I? If not, somebody correct me.)
