[quote=alumaswimmer][quote]Our sailing on the big lake, Lake Winnipesaukee was a great success. We didn't end up using the boat launch; we just parked near the beach and carried it to the water. One thing that's funny about a cat, no matter where you go, people always want to help you put it together. I have yet to go somewhere where someone doesn't want to help you carry it or put it together.
In any event, we did a 2-3 mile jaunt from Five Mile Island to the Long Island Marina. We made great time. We also did a lot of sailing up and down and around the marina itself. The best sailing however was when we got home back to our own lake. Sunrise Lake is pretty small, but yesterday we had 20 mph winds, white caps and an empty lake. We frickin' cruised.
Cat sailing is a blast. If you happened to come across this forum, and you don't have a boat yet, stop waiting. Go out and get one. I don't regret it, and I don't think you will either.

I remember the summers when I was sailing a Dolphin Sr. (like a sunfish) and I set it up on "Hobie Beach". I wanted to help the cat owners set up their boats but I was 12 and I didn't think they wanted help. The reason I wanted to help was I was hoping I would get invited for a ride! So I bought a hobie 16 for $125 and now I have my own cat to set up, repair, store, admire, paint, epoxy, and all that fun stuff![/quote]
