How do I find the sailors that I've never met and don't show up to regattas?

How about a notice to the area sailing clubs. There has to be one or two each at Hartwell and Lanier. I'm not a member but the Western Carolina Sailing club has a bunch of cats on the beach. Could Hobie help us out with a notice to dealers in the area? It might also be possible to get a small article written for the newspapers in the area. Let me know what help you need.

There aren't many dealers close to here, but with a small tweak, I think that is a terrific idea! I'll work on a brochure/card that can be sent to the dealers (and the catsailor store if they feel up to it) all over the south east and ask them to include one with any parts shipments to the Carolinas, GA, and Tennessee. The brochure can point them to the EMSA site and we could setup a page specifically for this kind of event. Even if they're not racing, they still need parts from time to time!

I know the Western Carolina scene pretty well and most of those cats sitting on the property are part of the dead boat society. Most of those are folks that have grown out of cat sailing or don't care enough to put it on a trailer...but still worth chasing with some communication - might even convert a dingy sailor or two as well.

Does anyone know where to get a good deal on printing?
