One of the things I really enjoy about the Acat is the simplicity of the rigging. I also own a HT and a have owned a Dart 16 and both are much harder to rig. The Dart was heavy to move around and the mast was (is) heavy. The HT is a pain to rig for a daily sail.

By contrast the A is simple to rig, so I tend to run down to the ramp after work and get in a quick sail, I wouldnt have done that with either of my previous boats.

At one point I left my HT at Sail Newport, which was 2 hours away just so I could leave it rigged and ready to go.

I'm pretty sure I'll get more sailing in with the Acat and thats a big plus for me.
