HI Jonathon,
Welcome to Great South Bay!!!
I just got back from a very satisfying day on the bay... 10 mph gradually increasing to 20... soloing then 2-up on my Nacra 5.0... racing a friend's 5.0 .... sailing with the guy who sold me my boat...
A whole bunch of us sail on the Bay from Heckscher State park, field 7. Heckscher park is at the end of the Southern State Parkway. Nacra's, Hobies, Tornado's, P-cats, Prindles; various models of each. Couple o' Lasers, a Zuma, a Force-5 in the monohull dept.
To answer your question for yourself, come on down to Heckscher, sail on all our boats!
There's a new forum for all Long Island Catsailors, look in the "jump to" menu at the bottom of the main list of posts...

LI Cat SailorsWe'll be out there tomorrow (Sunday) with a boat or two. Bring a bathing suit and wetsuit if you've got one, I always bring spares.
Email me if you can't make it; we'll hook up another day.
