Ive raced my cruizing cat a few times over the last 6 months and found myself learning a heap of new tricks like......... Tacking! Yes tacking - something i never do as a cruiser.
My boat is not set up for fast tacks but ive got it down Pat and can change direction in a nanosecond and i really enjoy it!
Found an 11meter grainger racing cat sitting in a paddockand made an offer to the owner which was rejected. This was sad but im on the hunt for a fast cat-handyman special.
The plan is to own a FFFAAASSSTTT cat for fun and racing and fun and fun and keep my cruizing cat for.... fun!
Can someone please talk some sense into me?
Yeh!! Forget gettin' a cat and get yourself a Farrier trimaran.
Unfortunately they are that good it is hard to find one for sale at all, let alone at a bargain price.
Just keep clear on the start line & let us monos romp upwind.
And retire before the downwind leg.
But keep racing 
Poods 
Sorry Poodle but ive been matching the mono's upwind!, Yes them multi things do go upwind.
Also been lucky enough to get a ride on Akimbo (32ft racing tri) on a few occasions. The objective on that boat is not to just win but to lap the fleet!
Yep a cheap tri would be nice, Anyone know of one?
geeze, don't you guys check the buy and sell!
Maybe my Manta was not as fast as you need, but it's been loved, and in good nick for age. At least less than 1/3 the price of a current Farrier, or much less ply than an old Trailer Tri.
Why not pimp it out, with bigger rig, massive prodder, and still have plenty $$ left.
I'll supply some fluffy dice.
