In the list Caleb sited there are 25 events that are proposed for the Northwest. This is the Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Brittish Columbia area. All usually within a 3-5 hour drive for most folks.

Of those,
8 are Hobie Points
6 are put on by Yacht Clubs
3 are organized by sailing centers
7 are non hobie points events oganized by hobie members
1 US Sailing Alter Qualifier

The majority of the events are organized by the cat sailors here who happen to be in division 4.
So i would say the local sailors in the area Caleb is talking about are doing all that they can to increase cat sailing in general.


And of those events listed four are focused as youth events.
Potholes Warm Up- youth fun sail
Hobie 101-Hobie Seminar and a Youth Clinc
Summer Celebration- Youth Only Regatta
Oktoberfest- Youth Only Regatta

I think we have to see this as moving forward.
