Help: Supercat 17, Nacra 5.7 or Prindle 18-2? - 04/18/05 01:49 AM
Greetings,
I am searching for a used catamaran. The catamaran will be for recreational family use (2 adults and 2 children). I may want to occasionally single-hand the boat. If the boat capsizes, I need to be able to right the boat single-handed. The boat will be sailed at lakes and at the ocean/sound in Georgia. I sailed a superVenture catamaran for several years in the early 1980s.
Which catamaran do recommend and why? I am considering a Supercat 17, a Prindle 18-2, a Nacra 5.7 and possibly a Prindle 18. I like to go fast under safe conditions. How do these boats compare to each other? Is the SC17 the easiest to sail? Since the waters in my area are shallow, daggerboard catamarans are not a reasonable option. If you have one for sale that is great condition with a trailer, please contact me. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
