I wouldn't be too concerned with experience of sailing a cat. Although they are a wee bit different sailing creature. They still need to be sailed, and the fundamentals aren't different. Looking at as many cats as possible for ideas is a definate.

Chris White's, and Gunboats are true sailing cats. From there you go all the way down to barges & condos. In between there are many that may satisfy your needs. I will type this again only because you will be using the boat for something specific, and out of the normal. Think about custom, and Talbot who is very knowledgable suggest many factors why new would probably be cheaper....i2f
