Greg, You already know my "retirement" boat is that mono you posted pics of,( Sakonnet 23, designed by Joel White) that's for when I'm too old to sail a Blade! To be honest though, I doubt I'll ever own another cat. I am still in love with my Hobie 17 Super Sport, and I really love the H 16, 18, and 20 too. I know they are old designs, but aside from being heavy, they provide Heavenly thrills! I'm still longing to try a boat with a chute! Hopefully next season I'll either get out on Tedd's Inter 17R or John Smith's I 20, or Wally Machado's H 18! Great friends great boats! What a life?! Or as Tedd Duvarney so often says when we're at "church": "Life is good!"
