Well, after a long search I finally found a catamaran. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I purchased a Hobie 16 that is in great condition. It is 1989 Hobie Alter Signature Edition. Not sure what that means other than the sails being somewhat different. The hulls and sails are in excellent shape, the tramp is in good shape but may need replacement after about 2 more years. The guy threw in an extra boom, extra lines, bag full of extra parts and a harness. The trailer is galvanized and in excellent shape. All this for $1500. I think I really got a great deal. At any rate, I am now ready to join the ranks of cat sailors out there. I have very little experience, so the learning curve will be great early on. Maybe someone can suggest some good resources for a beginner.

Also can someone lead me to the hull ID#? I have to fill out a P504 form in Texas, but have yet to find the hull ID. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Thanks and have a great day,

Walter
