The starter of this thread seems to be trolling - he's the same guy who started the "Are A-Cats just overblown windsurfers?" thread in the main forum.

OK, I think you're STILL getting too much kaffe'. The A-cats thread was clearly tongue-in-cheek, ergo posted with a smiley.

OTOH, *this* thread was posted as a straightforward OBJECTIVE question, as should be clear from my initial post, not to mention the yellow '?' icon. If the "stretch" between the two is beyond your grasp, I can only suggest neural limbering exercises, and MORE SAILING. Always works for me.

In general, it's rather humorous when people get all hormonal and defensive about "their" brand of cat, as though the mfr. is sponsoring them, or sending them free sails (or better yet, free bikini models with their own half-harnesses... lol). Ain't no mfr. ever done that for me, so I'll tell you EXACTLY where their product is lacking... which, NOT coincidentally, is the purpose of these forums!

In short, you might need to chill... mellow... luff... roll with it. (Are you sure you're not a (*gasp*) closet POWERboater?) JUST KIDDING!


PS: Interesting info about hull weight stamped on stern.
