Newbie here, with a Prindle 16. (I'm a newbie, but on the high side of middle age.) I live just North of Los Angeles, not far from Castaic Lake.
Would like to meet experienced Cat owners, hopefully willing to help me learn (at least) the basics of sailing at Cat. Appreciate help with rigging/set up too.
Let's hang out, have fun, whatever may be of interest.

Thanks!
Marshall

Hi Marshall,
I'm south of LA in the OC. with an A cat. don't know if you got any responce here but I'm learning a lot all over again after picking up bad habits on monos. "butt cleat" was a new one.

Marshall,
Go here; http://groups.yahoo.com/group/So_CA_Beachcat_Sailors/ and it will hook you up with a good group of cat sailors. TaipanRob - now in east Texas.

I joined that group I haven't seen a forum like this over there just a photo album, they are talking about going camping in the spring on Catalina just picked a date March 27th it looks like.
The regatta at the ABYC on the 22nd of Blowvember is the only thing going this month and it's my birthday.
I've been sailing 5 days this month down at Belmont shore where did everyone go? Oh well guess I have newboatitus.
At least theres free access to the ramp this time of year and enough wind.

Hi Marshall,
I joined also here to learn and deal to the catsailor I enjoying talking and reading to their topic because I feel I'm professional when joining to their topic..
