Hello all,

My wife and I are looking at catamarans for our new boat. We just sold the Sunfish I grew up sailing and a Mirage 236 (23.5' sloop-rig keelboat) in preparation. We found both boats fell outside of what we wanted, and weren't sailing enough because of it. We're thinking catamaran for the sailing performance and trailer-ability. My wife had a Hobie years ago in a previous marriage, but I've never sailed a cat. I don't want something that's blisteringly fast, but so incredibly technical that we would become frustrated with it. Similarly, I don't want something that's easy to learn, but becomes boring quickly. My wife's 5'3", so she can fit on anything easily; however, I'm 6'5" so I'm leaning towards 18-20 foot boats. Together we probably weigh about 320 lbs. Boat can be new or used. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
