Curious about cats Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 G'day all, Im new to sailing and ive been looking around at different cats. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of the windrush 12? ive seen the 14ft version but never heard of the 12 before today. i will generally be sailing solo and im a lightweight, bout 60kg, so i was thinking maybe a 12ft version would b a bit more managable? any ideas most appreciated. cheers, curious.

Inland_Sailor Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Curious, Yes, they were produced back in the 70's by the original Windrush Co., AKA Surfcat. My advice is to get the larger 4.3 [14'] model as there are plenty around, lot of advice availale, parts are still made and are probably easier to sail because they nose dive less due to the extra 600mm.

Curious about cats Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi, Inland sailor, Thanks for your advice. I suppose the availability of parts would become an issue. Like you said better to stick to something which is a little more common. Ill keep looking. Cheers, Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
