hey nemo does that orange jib make her sail to weather better. ive decided that one day i will replace my 16 with either an eclipse of a suncat for more cabin space.
Ditto the Sailboat Shop! Bought our Suncat, Cattitude from John. Great guy to deal with. Would have bought our Horizon Cat from him if Skaneateles wasn't so far away from Punta Gorda(We were living in CNY when we bought Cattitude).
kickingbug1,
Can't really comment about "better to weather", but it sure does make a lot of difference improving boat performance (speed) in LIGHT AIR which is the primary reason for adding it along with that 4' Bowsprit.

if nothing else it gives the boat a cool unique look.
John from The Sailboat Shop in Skaneateles also brokered the deal for our Eclipse last year. He sold it new to the original owner. We struck up a great deal and he is quite the "character". :)
