Milt,

We have a group called the Southern Idaho Sailing Association ( SISA ) that has events about every other weekend from April through October. This year, they are almost exclusively races, but there should be more fun events next year upon my request. We have a pseudo sub group ( Idaho Beachcats ) of beachcats that attend those events as well as putting some informal fun sails and BBQ's together. I have a Hobie 18, we have several 16s, a couple of 20s, some Nacra's and Prindle's. We would be more than happy to have you join us for a fun sail or just come out for some rides. I'd be more than happy to take you out for a spin.

There are lots of members of monoslugs and I'm sure they would be more than happy to take you out and show you the fine art of going slow . There are several Cat 22s, Mac 26s, San Juan 21s and variety of others to go out on. Our next race is 9/6-7 at CJ Strike and we'd love to see you there.

We sail a lot at Cascade, a couple of regattas at Payette and a few at CJ Strike as well. If you want good wind, go up to Lucky Peak at dawn and enjoy double trap wind until about 10am. Good stuff there and there are a few cat sailors up there during the week. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email][email protected].......[/email]

Hope to see you soon!
