Pat:

No one is saying the 16 wasn't/isn't a good boat. When I start THERE were NO spinnaker cat boats in 79. I went to a fleet in a year and a half. What I and others are saying is MOST 2-up cats are going to spinnakers. I thinks Zee should get the latest technology, whichever boat she gets, that is all. That is why I bought the 4.3 to train Ashleigh and me.
