Hi Jeff,

There will be charter boats available. Details are still being ironed out, this initial announcement was made so people can start planning for the date and logistics.

Lots of good competition in the H16 fleet in the northeast. I know you'll probably be racing with the F18s at Madcatter, but if not, they have been known to find boats for people. Lots of good Hobie regattas in NJ, with enough notice I'm sure you could arrange to borrow a boat.

If all else fails and you just want to sail around for practice, the local fleet in RI has lots of fun days, and boat swapping is very common.

I currently have a Wave and no 16, but will probably rectify that problem in the spring, and would be willing to help you out over the summer.

Mike
