Don, I'm intrigued with this boat and I've had a long conversation with Tom Wylie, the designer and builder. Have you any knowledge of this boat and its rig? It rates 138 which is very fast for a 30' boat, especially a catboat.
..of racing against one this summer and to my surprise the thing flies. It will point with the sloop rig and off the wind its a rocket. Downwind you sail it like a Laser, by the lee and direct to the mark never having to break a sweat hoisting or dousing a spinnaker. The big main has 600sq/ft of sail area. It seems like the perfect boat for shorthanded racing. The biggest drawback is the price $135,000
.. it looks like I'm gonna have to wait till spring. The only boat east of the Mississippi is already laid up for the winter. You, on the other hand have year round sailing. Maybe you could take a test drive on the west coast and fill us in with your thoughts, wadaya think?
