Hi!
I live in Adelaide, South Australia, so I won't help much in your aim of getting North American demographics.

I used to sail a lot, mostly off Brighton-Seacliff, but haven't had a bot for a while. I just got one again, so I'm hoping to go back to it this season, if I can finish restoring it in time.
I've always sailed OTB cats, normally 14-18 foot, but although I've been in a few races I have never sailed competitivly. I have high hopes for this new boat, though, so luck holding I'll get back into racing next season.
Adam.
