Hi,

Sorry for the long delay - I was out a while with pneumonia - long story - but not sailing related..

Rich and Bob Partenfelder - the current officers of our now somewhat dormant (but not for long) Long Island Cat Sailing Assoc., have a Hobie 16 along with their Nacra 5.5SL. I'm sure they would give you good advice and a ride out of Heckscher.
I plan to use Heckscher a few times this summer with my Hobie FX-1, though I primarily sail out East. I'd be happy to meet you there, with the Partenfelders and others to help you out in any way we can.

Drop me a line, (off-line) and I'll give you my phone number so we can talk, and I can stop typing...

Steve
