G'day Wouter the Bic rig isn't that good with any weight on it the shape of the hull gets it plaining really easily with small kids or in big wind, guys that saw me have a hoot on it in conditions that the rescue boat didn't go out in couldnt get it going the next day in moderate conditions. Its just a windsurfer rig really. The reason I posted really was the fact that as a novice but enthusiastic sailor with 4 kids being encouraged to sail, I had tried it was looking to buy it but was put off by the supprising weight of it. I really want a stack of light weight easy to repair reasonably strong cats which keeps bringing me back to carbon and foam hulls, side stays etc
