All very helpful stuff.

I've seen other TheMightyHobie18's sail where I plan on sailing so hopefully water depth won't be a big issue.
I was concered about how heavy the boat is. Hopefully it won't be to hard to find help offering a good ride in return. That is once I learn to sail it right! My brother in law sails cats and will be helping along the way.

Right now I'm really trying to get familiar with the boat. Learning all the terminology and how things work together. I'm starting out very green here.
I have many questions, here is a starter: When sitting on the trailer w/ the mast raised...should either of the side stays be slack at all? Boat is relatively level. One of mine is seemingly very slack, while the other and forstay are in tension. Is this correct?

I have been in touch with some folks from Div 11. All very nice and more than willing to help if I were to attend a regatta. I don't have any regattas in me this year, but I'm really looking forward to attending a few in 08'.

Can anyone provide a link to the TheMightyHobie18 Performance Manual? I see assembly guides and parts lists, but no perf. man.
