Guys, I've owned a cat since '82 (G-Cat recently sold) and finally bought relatively fast one (older Mystere 6.0), joined a sailing club (Gulfport Yacht Club), primarily for mast-storage and discovered racing. We race twice a month on Saturdays. Very, Very low key. We have some very competitive types with new, hot boats, but most are aging beach cats with everyone having fun on triangle courses on Boca Ciega Bay.

The point is no one really cares who wins (usually the older fella on the Sunfish because of corrected times). My Mystere usually down due to time given. We get to make the boats go as fast as we can and thats it!

You can have the one design and all the headaches and hassles....our goal is fun sailing.

We get it every time!

John
