As I indicated in one of my first posts, Finding sailors for a cat group has been a real challenge here in WV. I met with two local high school principles. Both are now showing real interest (including a school presentation) in my plan to teach their youth that our lakes hold more for them then bass and catfish. These educators can see the value and art of sailing. I hope I can take advantage of that and start with kids from 14 years and up to...(well,here that could be 25) lol

In short boys, I need your help... I need a two man rig. This will allow me to be on the water with these kids untile I can let them lose on one of my small cats (Sea Spray 15's) I found that boat too small and lite for such work. The Hobie 16 would seem to be my best bet both in cost and load carrying capablities. If you know of a old Hobie 16 cheap or better yet free..contact me and I will follow up. BTW, soft hulls are OK with me..just need one that will float. We, the kids and I will do the needed work here.

BTW, any other boat ideas would be most welcome

Thanks in advance boys
