Ive raced my cruizing cat a few times over the last 6 months and found myself learning a heap of new tricks like......... Tacking! Yes tacking - something i never do as a cruiser.
My boat is not set up for fast tacks but ive got it down Pat and can change direction in a nanosecond and i really enjoy it!
Found an 11meter grainger racing cat sitting in a paddockand made an offer to the owner which was rejected. This was sad but im on the hunt for a fast cat-handyman special.
The plan is to own a FFFAAASSSTTT cat for fun and racing and fun and fun and keep my cruizing cat for.... fun!
Can someone please talk some sense into me?

Yeh!! Forget gettin' a cat and get yourself a Farrier trimaran.

Unfortunately they are that good it is hard to find one for sale at all, let alone at a bargain price.

Sorry Poodle but ive been matching the mono's upwind!, Yes them multi things do go upwind.
Also been lucky enough to get a ride on Akimbo (32ft racing tri) on a few occasions. The objective on that boat is not to just win but to lap the fleet!
Yep a cheap tri would be nice, Anyone know of one?
