Well I'm always talking up cat sailing when I fly, and I've got at least 3 guys seriously looking for used entry level boats, not for racing, but to get started. Of course I've given out my old copies of Catsailor, told them about this website and the classifieds, and Ebay, and Craig's list, etc. but all three have the same complaint: They can't seem to find a good starter boat, not a racing boat, just a back yard beater to get started, for around $1,000-3,000.

If any of you know of a suitable starter boat, please PM me or put it in the classifieds. Oh, two of them are in the Atlanta area, one is here in Sebring, FL. They don't want to drive cross country for a look.

And that's another issue, they are always asking me "What to look for..." because they have no idea what's requried to restore a beater. So a cat that's ready to sail would be better for them.

Thanks in advance for any leads.
