If you have a Hobie cat and if you belong to the North American Hobie Class Association (NAHCA), you will receive their newsletter, which is a pretty substantial magazine.


Mary, Have you received that magazine lately? It's always so outdated that it is nearly worthless. I feel bad for the poor volunteer who has to put that together. I do the newsletter for Hobie Fleet 61, with help from a layout expert, and it's always a major effort - and I make my living as a journalist. As for marketing catamaran's, I don't know if NAHCA News is helping.

Also, no one has mentioned the movie, Thomas Crown Affair. There is about five minutes of cat sailing on a 60-foot version of a beach cat with Pierce Brosnan hanging off of an extended trapeze device and flying a hull. It ends with Brosnan's boat in a slow motion capsize. Hoaky but cool. I played it for my 2 1/2 year old son and he kept saying "do again, daddy."
