It's not "Light" by beach cat standards, but much better for "cruising" as it's got lots of storage space and sleeping down below, and a hard deck as well as a tramp forward of the mast. I'll see if I can google up a picture of one. I saw one here on my lake for about $3,000 but that was years ago, don't know where it ended up. Here is a link to the Wharram site, and a shot of a 21's storage space. http://www.multihulls.uk.com/wharram/t21_1235.htm And of course there's a You Tube vid of it underway! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5dhFVp4_C0

I've sailed a P-cat for many years now.
Great boat for its time and tougher than nails. Sailing it has been lots and lots of fun.
It has been the finest for goof off sailing, beach camping and scuba diving in Mexico. Dragging it around behind a mini van to accommodate 4 of us, camping and scuba gear was a breeze.
Since I purchased a Stiletto 27 to give us better range, the ability to boat camp, and to cross Mexico's Sea of Cortez to the Baja, I haven't used it much.
If you want a great platform, its all there and I'll give it to you if you want to transport it from the Bear Lake area of Idaho where it is now sitting (no trailer).
While you're there, we can goof off sail on one of the several beach cats I still have, I'll flip some burgers for you and you can help me re-step the mast on the Stiletto 27.
Is life good or what...?

Posts: 94 | You're just down the road! I 80 that is & 1300 miles of it. OTOH, free is a mighty motivator. I might have to mull this one over. I'm sure a flatbed would get it done jsut fine with appropriate blocking and strapping without having to fit a trailer. Is this the P cat I saw on thebeachcats site? The chance to check out the stiletto would be an added bonus.

All good ideas for crewed cruising though.
I like the Gcat idea with the front tramp. Is it any lighter than the TheMightyHobie18 I have?
dan At least 100lbs lighter. I've heard as low as 260.
Have Fun
