I bailed when I realized both hulls were in the air. Not much chance of saving that and didn't want to get tangled in the wreckage. The last mast (about a year old) was $5k (it's insured, but I think they may be getting tired of me). A new ACat is about $20-25k, a good used one is about $12-15k. For that you get to sail at roughly the speed of the wind up to about 20knots (23mph). After that bad things start to happen (usually just a capsize or a pitchpole, but apparently they just fly at 58knots).
They are exceptionally stupid.
That sounds like fun. I just told my mom I want to get a catamaran.
Is an acat the boat completely? 20k isn't too bad for a carbon boat, if it is.
I clearly know nothing about boats.
