The Florida panhandle would like to congratulate Rick Adams for adding the former "OutLaw" to his stable of boats! I will be toddling over to Key Sailing tomorrow to sort out all the right parts for him. This is great; another racer in the area! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Rock on... More cats on the Gulf.

All you SE F17s need to come over Birmingham Sailing Club's Cat Caper on Oct 25/26. Should be lots of fun.

The local Bham F17 was out last Sunday, but opted for his foiling Moth on Saturday - wow!!!!!

Congrats to Rick for a great purchase!!

Damn you Bob!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I was trying to get Rick into a FXone. Oh well. He's a MN local. I sent him an email calling him a traitor, haven't heard anything back though. Good to see Rick on a modern cat.

BTW- Saw some pics of you guys for the Nacra catalog, some nice shots.

so what's he got now? H17, G-cat, H14, N17?

Bob:

Had a good phone interview Friday. May be moving to Mobile, Al soon. Not that far from you. If I do may try to pick up this boat http://www.cathouse1.com/preowned/usedcat12.html If I do I will have you tweak it for me. Any cats at Mobile Yacht Club?

Doug,

I'm not up to speed on the cat status on Mobile Bay. Let us know what you find out!

Bob:

Turns out I can live anywhere and drive to the job. Just had to go there to take drug test and do paperwork. Think I may move to your neck of the woods. I really fell in love with Pensacola / Fort Walton area. And You do most of your sailing there right? And this place http://www.juanaspagodas.com/ was a HOOT!!!!!!!! Would you sponsor me for FWYC? Will have to make a few road runs first. IF this boat is still available http://www.cathouse1.com/preowned/usedcat12.html I am going to try to get it. Would you help me tweak it and get self taking jib kit when I want to have crew?

Doug

I don't know how much they want for that boat; however, there is another boat here http://www.thebeachcats.com/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1328/cat/1

He is selling it for 10000 plus 3k for the Sloop Kit. Not a bad deal and I think Bob knows this boat?

You also have a Blade for sell http://www.thebeachcats.com/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1327/cat/1 on the same site for 9500 and you wouldn't have to purchase anything for it to sail it with crew.

Doug,
Working in Mobile and commuting from FWB just isn't feasible. You are looking at a 2 hour plus one way trip everyday. A better place would be extreme western Pcola up near I-10. I believe Mobile is roughly 30 minutes from there. Whichever F17 you get, we'll talk setup at that time. Get settled first.

Didn't get the Mobile job. I went with Shaw Pipeline. They just tell me where to work and I drive there. I am in Jackson, Ms now for 2 months. I will see how things go before I move to FWB. Let me know of F17 deals.

Bob:

Mobile came back with a better offer. Looking at west Pensacola and commuting to West Mobile. When I get there I will contact you.
