I agree Mark, now we just need to decide which clubs to join, so we don't get scattered too thin. In Florida there is so much beach area though, the cat sailors are spread out all over the place. The Gulfport club is growing now that it has gained a critical mass of cat sailors. I would love to see the guys around Orlando all join the Lake Eustis Sailing Club, which hosts two big cat regattas every year and also has a weekly racing program and a kids program. And for the east coast, Cocoa Beach area guys, maybe the Melborne YC? I've never been there but I know they are cat friendly, I don't know if they offer mast up storage, which I think is very important if they want a bunch of cats to join, show up and race on a regular basis.

I drive two hours to Gulfport just because I know when I get there, there will be racing. But I bring my boat home afterwards. I may join the club just to support the racing though.
