Okay, I will. The SunCat has slightly more arch to the cabin top, and that brings in a little more headroom, making it more comfortable; the lack of post or cb trunk also contribute to useable space ( I know the Fox doesn't have a cb trunk either). The only problem that I see with the SunCat is that they are almost nonexistent on the used boat market; maybe some of those guys will move up and put those used SCs out there. I had a SunCat at a small outdoor show a couple of weeks ago, and the reception was great, from sailors and nonsailors alike. It was neat to talk to the few sailors who drifted through, but what really struck me was the number of fishermen who said they had admired sailboats out there, and thought it would be fun to learn to sail. My reply was "Buddy, if I can learn to sail, YOU can." Creatures of habit,most of them probably will never sail, but maybe some will. In some ways, though, those guys are like us- just trying to get out and enjoy the water.
