If you want a rotomolded boat that also performs like a true beach cat then the best options are to found here.
Dart 16 (standard) Dart 16 (X-version) The Dart 16 X versions looks alot more modern and it probably a quite pleasant and performant beach cat.
The pricing is very acceptable as well, as so far I can compare them to EU pricing for nacra's and hobie.

I suspect the Dart 16X is Laser's knee-jerk response to the announcement from Topper of the new Topaz 16C, designed by Yves Loday and Rob White, which coincidentally is also available in two versions of similar spec to the two Darts. Surprise, surprise! They're the 16C and 16CX! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
The main difference is that the 16C looks more modern and is claimed to be nearly as fast as a Spitfire according to one of the salespeople on the Topper stand at the London Boat Show.

The fast version is the one in the background.
