How well do Maricats perform against other 14 ft catamarans?
Windrushes have slightly higher performance (speed) than Maricats and this is recognised by the lower VYC yardstick. Maricats and Hobie 14s have simular performance as far as speed is concerned although Maricats seem to perform better in light winds. As none of these three classes have dagger boards they have the same performance in terms of pointing when sailing close to the wind. At the YMCASC Maricats, Hobie 14s and Windrushes sail on the same yardstick, as the performance differences are negligible.
