On a Laser, you can reef the main by tieing off the downhaul to the mast and then spinning the mast two full rotations and hooking up the boom. I recall doing this once or twice on some windy days. You can actually do more rotations but you will have to remove the top batten. Otherwise, you're a young guy...you shouldn't be complaining about hiking
.
A Hobie 14 or a Wave would be good options for you for cat sailing, you just might want to bring a water bag. Or, at the very least, flip the boat intentionally in a controlled situation to see if you can right it yourself.
