If you want a bit of help, I sail a lot and have had lots of different cats.
I live in Farmington, Utah, just north of SLC and my wife and I spend most weekends at Bear Lake sailing and / or goofing off.
If either of those locations are close to you, contact me.
It would be fun to see your boat.
Bear Lake would be a great place to get it wet and the water finally warmed up.
