Hi Catamaran sailors

I am looking for some ideas to find 1 or 2 weeks of great sailing with a vacation package.I am most comfortable sailing Hobie 16 but feel confident to be on a bigger boat.

I have been to Club Med, but I am looking for winds that are 15 plus and real sail boats.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Can't rate Wildwind at Vassiliki in Greece highly enough. Guess it might be an expensive exercise for some now that the $ has achieved parity with the cowrie shell though...

A serious well organised holliday resort for cat sailors. How many resorts have 4 Tigers, 4 Hobie Pacifics, 1 Hobie Fox, 2 Hobie FX-ones, 2 Hobie Dragoons, 2 Hobie 15's, 1 Hobie 18, 1 Hobie 17, 10 Hobie 16's, 4 laser 1's, 1 laser 2000, 2 laser 3000, 3 Laser 4000, 1 Laser 5000, 1 49-er, 1 RS800, 1 double seat Kayak AND a 23 15+knots winddays each month. It is also a windsurf mekka, wind speed wise, and the water is a deep blue colour. Ohh they say your room is 100 mtr from the beach that is WRONG, it is 50 mtr from the beach and boats.

I'll third Wildwind its a cat sailors dream location, some of the best sailing i've ever had. Great for beginners in the morning and for blasting in the afternoons when the local wind "Eric" kicks in, and don't forget to check out the Zeuss bar.

I can highly recommend http://www.hobiecataventures.com.
I did the St.Martin safari last week and we had 6 days of great sailing in 15-25 kts.

Wildwinds seems like the place to go.. Might be very expensive. I am going to definitly look into this.

Many thanks everyone
