Hi Guys,
I'm really enjoying this thread ... lots of excellent advice !!!
So I'm going to recommend not a boat but a person ....
Mr "Hips" I will suggest that you contact the finest and most experienced Multihull sailor most of us know ... MR ROBBIE DANIELS
Robbie is based out of Clearwater/Tampa Florida where his "better half" Jill Nickerson operates "Fun in the Sun" ... they have advertizements here on CatSailor w/ Websites listed.
Robbie has sailed all the boats mentioned (and some not)... is ranked second in the US on Tornadoes ... is the current F18 US National Champion and is one of the kindest gentleman and best sailors you'll ever have the pleasure to meet.
So that's my recommendation, a person not a particular boat ... so contact Robbie through Jill and if you can make a trip to the Tampa area ... go talk w/ Robbie and see if you can get him to take you out for a sail.
And ... WELCOME TO THE "DARK SIDE" of sailing ...
Sail Flat, Sail Fast, Sail Safe
