I live in Camrose, Alberta, Canada. There are 2 fleets of Catamarans that are close to my place (within 60 miles) that I can sail at often, one of about 30 catamarans that include the largest group of 18 squares in North America, and our club near Edmonton that has about 40 various Cats that have perhaps 10 move more than a couple times a year. (For those wondering, we have been snow skiing for a few weeks now) I have an A-Class that I built that needs several revisions. I am preparing to post sometime on all the things I learned to not do when building a boat! I started sailing 4 summers ago on a Tornado that I sold in error with the intent of purchasing a used Marstom, but that fell through when I added up all the costs. I hope to get to some A-Class regattas this year in the Great Lakes area, and see if I can get this thing to go faster! I would love to go to the regattas at Ricks place, but it is about 4 days of driving 20 hours per day to get to, and my boat is being revised... Maybe next year.
