mferguson Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 We have a young bloke at our club that wants to get into cat sailing. He is about 12 and only around 50kg and we are looking for an Arafura Cadet for him to start out in. Does anyone know of any in reasonable condition that might be for sale? He is willing to put effort into doing it up if it needs a bit of work. He is based in Melbourne so would need to find something reasonably close.

gim Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I suggest you contact the Arrow & Arafura Association. I did that last year, and I got one in no time (in NSW). I am sure that they would know of Cadets in VIC, and would let you have one if you can convince them that it will be sailed. I have really enjoyed sailing the Cadet, even though I am too big for it. They are great fun. If you get one, please post some pics. [ATTACH=CONFIG]880[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 It may be easier to find a P/Tiger, Windy or Mari and have a cut down main fitted, then when he is ready to step up, a full main, that way the boat will last him many seasons.

madboutcats Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Keep looking for the Arafura there must be heaps out there, if you find one without sails I have a good set that I would sell to get it on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
