Lasers are fast fun, but "tender" (tippy). You don't see many retirees in a Laser!
I sail today with my tricked-out Hobie Formula
18SX. (And own three catamarans, including the Tornado 20). You mention going to the World Olympics?
The Olympics have a Tornado 20 class: a tough boat to beat for top speed, acceleration, and epoxy lightness. What's it weigh, 350 pounds? It's "a machine", not a "beach cat". The Tornado accelerates so fast I've had several "man-overboard" simulations—that being me—nearly ejected off the transom!
As far as a boat's name, stay away from making a political statement. My boat's name was to have been "Wind Tax". (With an arrow pointing to my newly-required registration numbers). I never applied the name after seeing the MPs stop so many catamarans—no point drawing attention to myself.
Tip: Always sail a fast cat with a crew. They're there to deflect the cold water from hitting you!
BTW: Though I've sailed fast cats in the Atlantic, the only place I've "gotten air" is off Lake Winnipesaukee's impressive boat wakes. Great fun, but it can get wet!
