Hi everyone. My name is Matt. My father and I have been browsing these forums for the last year or so looking at ideas for rigging and storage of Catamarans. My Father has been sailing since the early 1950's and I have been Crewing with him since the 1980's. Started off in Sizzler's then after those boats wore out we got a Hobie 16. Since then I have gone off to pilot School and now I’m back into sailing with him. We have purchased a Super Cat 20. Nice ship but we have run it to a few snags. • The jib system is a complex nightmare which we fixed using some thing that looks like the Nacra self tacking system. • Telescoping trailer’s parts getting Stuck. • Setup and take down consume about 5 hours of the whole day trip. • Sailing Clubs and places to beach the boat for the night have also dried up.
My Current questions are: Anyone know of a sailing club that offers Mast up storage on long Island NY? Any current races coming up in the Ny, LI area? I saw a post on using a long island park for mast up storage. But the post was in early 2002. Is the Idea still valid? I called the park and their reply was “sailing? There have only been a few windsurfers in the past year. I haven’t seen any day sailor’s in a few years.”
Thanks for your time in reading this post and great work on the forums. I have posted a pic. of the Beast "saber tooth"
