In Shreveport there are some H16 sailors, 1 TheMightyHobie18, and a nacara 5.8 sailor who is now commodore there now. The webmaster for their site (shreveyacht.com) is a good friend of mine and a die hard h16 sailor, Gary Montcalm. They have a floating ramp to launch from and a nice grassy are to store the boats. Was part of the club for 6 years and the people there are great. Even talking of getting the Buzzard Island cat regatta back. The lake is like most inland lakes, brown, shify wind, and has its share of jet skis in the summer. But in the fall and winter when the wind is blowing you will often have the lake to yourself, or at least only sailboats, and often only cats.

Also I think there is a guy in tyler (rob) who has a tipain 4.9, and in little rock kirt simmons has a tipain, a cat, and bunch of other cats.

hope this helps. While it is not south texas it is not the end of the world.
