Yep Ed you've found one. After campaigning a Cal 20 and a McGregor 36
cat, we do like watching the yacht racing. Maybe it is just our
familiarity, but the B and F balls do not get our attention. For that
matter neither does NASCAR (Oops that may be un-American)

From dinghies to the A Cup.
And a few C cups now and then...

Damn Richard. I'm sorry I looked up the sailinganarchy website. Here we
are in the desert where if we get to see water it is in our drinking glass.
We do miss the sailing that we did out in the Marshall Islands. Warm clear
water, constant trade winds, long 50mile protected water lagoon...22kts
under sail on the McGregor with 4 people standing around with a beer in
their hands. Yeah I don't miss the passages we took, no autopilot in a hot
rod cat means a lot of work for two people, but the day/week-end sailing was
a blast.

There is a fair amount of sailing up at Lake Isabella, which is not all
that far...that far...from you

And Id strongly suggest starting out somewhat less potent than a cat for
a few trips...winds up there tend to be a bit...strong when the red
lights come on....and a bit...iffy in direction.

Also..isnt there a boating area in your area? I cant remember. Dam or
some such?

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
