Hello Jon-

I took my ARC22 out with two tri-babes from my bike club. We tried out my new furling asm spin and it all worked out well. Both got to get in the traps, steer, furl,trim, etc.Now they want to work catsailing around their more important cycling/tri events next year. I don't have a sailing mag in the house [raided] and I told them both no phone calls for less than five questions. They are 39 & 44 yrs young and neither had been catsailing before. Both were afraid of capsizing at first but became well adapted after the first run across the lake.

Now my goddaughter maybe be back here next year. She has her eyes on my FMS 20 thats being refinished. She helped me sand down one of the hulls. I told her RT has first shot at it and she said "my boat" and smiled...

So theres hope for you and your crew getting back into the catsailing scene.
