James,



Does your post mean that you are keeping your boat and not going to sell it? How is the repaint coming along? I ended up buying Ian Verrier's boat after our discussion a few months ago and have been extremely happy with it, its in excellent condition - everyone who sees it asks me if its a new boat!



It only has a specialist cat mast unfortunately so I'm going to have to save up a pile of dollars to buy a sloop mast so that I can stick a spinnaker on it. I'm keen to sail cat rigged with spinnaker also so am keen to see how you get on.
