Stewart...

Don't know of any "organized" cat sailing in the UP or Lake Superior. Prolly just a few that pleasure sail with privately owned boats from their cottages. There is a re-born Hobie fleet (448?) in Minnesota just not sure where they sail...10,000 lakes you know.

I agree with Jake that you can't go wrong with getting an F18. The platforms are all pretty evenly matched and competitve. It really all boils down to the loose nut on the tiller <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> The boats are fairly stout and bulletproof. Now is the time to buy if your serious. Come spring time they may be already sold and hard to find.
