Hi all



This weekend I will be picking up a Hobie 16 which I purchased on ebay for 800 bucks.



My only sailing experience was in february when i went down to negril and sailed in i think a hobie 14. Thats all i needed and i got hooked. First thing i did when i got home is start to look for one and now im about to get it.



Now for the questions:



1 what book or video would you guys reccomend i read/watch that will give me all the neccessary terms and info regarding hobie sailing



2 i will probably be sailing solo for the most part is that ok being a begginer, i weigh 260 lbs, so i think capsizing shouldnt be a prob for me (or is it?)



3 anyone know of events or clubs on the north shore of long island



thanks for any help
