What has happened with the G-Cat?

qoute The stirdy boardless design is especially attractive to recreational sailors who seek high performance combined with practical family use. qoute

I think this platform, expandable to a full F16 and the talk of a rental model (a step up from a Wave) are excellent ideas. Would a G-Cat without a spinnaker be as much fun as an H16 for starter/family boat? I'd think so, and easier to use with the self tacking jib. There seems to be a recreational sailor and casual racer fear of the third sail (gennaker). Consequently the sailor of the F16 will most likely come from another class. We here can hope it's not from a multihull class, but a keel or centerboard. The only thing better than what you've got going right now would be a direct entry level boat, ala the G Cat concept.
