After a very successful show last year, read about it at http://www.fleet276.com/In%20the%20News/diary_of_a_sail_show.htm , Hobie Division 10 will be doubling their space at this years show! Without a doubt, we were the talk of the show...our booth consistently filled with sailors drooling over "Tigerboy's" Hobie Tiger. This year, we will add the classic 16 in our additional booth space.

With cat sailing movies on the big screen, music pumping from the speakers, and dozens of Midwest sailors talking up the sport and stressing fleet participation, we intend to make our mark again! Once again, the Division 10 meeting will be held on Saturday night at Bob Chinn's Chicago Crabhouse.

I encourage all cat sailors in the area to stop by our booth and say hello. I also encourage all other catamaran clubs who are within a drive to a regional version of this Strictly Sail Show to make the effort to be there. It really pays off. It's nothing but a exhibition center full of sailboats and sailors...no powerboats!!!

The show is scheduled for February 3 -6 at Navy Pier. More information is available at www.sailamerica.com and www.hcadivision10.com

See you there!
