Somewhere in this thread, I thought I read you were coming to the Washington D.C area. If you are, come check out the West River Catamaran Racing Association (WRCRA). We race every Tuesday night, rain or shine for 26 weeks throught the late spring to early fall and then have a fall frosbite on Sunday for 5 or so weeks. We also co-sponsor a few medium distances races with CRAC. Our website is www.wrcra.org.

There is also Hobie Fleet 196 in D.C. They frequently join us for special events sponsered by CRAC and WRCRA. www.hobiefleet196.org/

Also, there is CRAC which sponsors a full calander of long distance and bouy races. A great accomplishment of late is they have negotiated a beach cat start in a distance race that has been for monohul and large cats. www.geocities.com/sailcrac/
