Hey Dan: How's things out west? I think the divide is much smaller also. I hate to say it, but it may have to do with the fact that the average cat sailor is approaching the average age of the monohull sailor. We can now afford to buy drinks inside the club house.
Well Pat after seeing the picture (I think it is your daughter, hard to tell with all the padding) you posted I dare say...We are seeing 80 degrees right now and the wind is blowing about 15. Plan on a really nice sail this weekend. Just Eileen and I and maybe a couple bottles of Bass. I have not sailed for about a month and am getting kind of itchy to go.
We have a few ex-cat sailors at the club. Their reasonings are anywhere from the fact that the whole family can be on the same boat to weekends in Catalina. I think that I may be the first board member that is a multihuller. That is a big deal to a couple of people there. Not in a bad way. Just that it shows that we are willing to get involved.
We just had a CISA clinic introducing the kids to catamaran racing and that was really impressive to a lot of folks there. We are making, I think, big strides. Really hope to be seeing you sooner than later.
Dan
