After many years of sailing my big sloop rigged schooner, I sold her last year.
It was time but I miss sailing a lot. So, I recently bought a much smaller gaff rigged cat boat. It is a SunCat by Compac. She's 17' long, lives on a trailer and is easy to setup and launch.
While sailing is sailing, apparently there are many differences in the way a gaff rigged and a sloop rigged are handled.
If there any sailers who are experienced in sailing a gaff rig and would like to teach an old sailer new tricks, I'd really enjoy a sail one day.

I made contact with Captain Mark.
He is only experienced with sloop rigged boats.
Anyone else?
