What was the Ulua's performance and carrying capacity compared to the TheMightyHobie18?
I don't like single handing my Taipan when camping for the following reasons:
1. Can't get it up and down the beach when loaded without giving the hulls a hard time. Something like a Hobie would be better because you could sail it up the beach and the hulls would take it.
2. Above 20kts wind speed the boat once capsized drifts faster than I can swim. It has happened twice to me while racing. With out a safety boat I would have been in trouble.
3. I don't like being on the wire by myself offshore, something breaks and your stuffed.
It looks like you have tried the tacking outrigger but are going back to a beach cat, why, was it too much of a performance hit?
