[quote=Wolfman]Nice boat! Make sure you download the manuals in the technical help section of this website, they will answer many questions you may have on rigging. If you have any specific questions on rigging or sailing her make sure you search the forum and don't be afraid to post a question. There are several 5.7 owners here who are very active and have just gone through thier first couple of seasons with there boats. I think you will find that the overall opinion of the 5.7 is very positive! It's a great ride!
I don't know about where you would find people to sail with locally but I would suggest some books that will help you out. Catamaran Sailing From Start to Finish by Phil Berman and The Catamaran Book by Brian Phipps are good beginner books with lots of pictures. Once you master the basics Catamaran Racing for the 90`s by Rick White is the bible of catamaran sailing for both racing and non-racing. It contains the most up to date info on advanced techniques and sail/boat trim to get the most out of your boat. All are available at Amazon.
If no one can help you here (I'm sure someone will chime in) make sure you contact your local Hobie dealer. They will likely be able to put you in touch with a catamaran friendly local yacht club or catamaran club if there is one near by. I say to talk to a Hobie dealer just because they are the most prevelent and tend to be hooked into the local community. If there is a Nacra dealer near you they could probably help also. [/quote]
