Hi Bruce

There are probably 30+ Cats here in Singapore out at the Changi Sailing Club on the East of the island. Mostly a collection of older NACRA 5.0's and newer Taipans along with a couple of Blades and A-class.. We are 1 of only 2 I17's and I have never seen the other boat out on the water which is a pity but we still get some good racing in with the other guys...

We sail year round too but its best from around November - March while the NE Monsoon is blowing.. Its frustrating by the time we fix the boat the winds will probably gone..! Still its better sailing than in my native UK... here if you are wet and chilly you can just jump in the sea to warm up... :-)

Havent been in the Caribbean since getting evacuated from St John USVI back in Hurricane Hugo but will be in Curacao later in the year to join the Clipper boat race up to New York and then across the atlantic to the UK. See how much of my small cat knowledge is useful on a 68ft monohull.... probably none of it.!

Regards

Jon
