I am interested in getting involved sailing Catamaran's, and I'm looking for a
starting point
. I live in central New Jersey, and I know a little about sailing in general, though do not have much experience. I'd appreciate any suggestions of where to start, ideally a local Catamaran/Multi-hull club that might have a sail for people new to the sport, etc. Thanks, Bret
A couple of suggestions:
Look up Phil Danbe at the
Sandy hook catamaran club
(AWESOME GROUP)
and have a look through the ULTIMATE CATAMARAN BUYERS GUIDE:

As MM said they are a great group. Very friendly and active. They also have a great variety of different cats at their beach.
Good luck and Welcome!!!
I am from SHBCC, very nice club indeed. Pass by and we will be happy to brief you and give you a ride!!!
Hi Brett
It is a very nice club. Come on down this Sunday, as there is a buoys race which should bring alot of people out. We have alot of Hobie 16's, 18's, about 4 H-20's, couple I-17's, Prindle's and a mish mosh of others. About 100+ boats on the beach. If you stop by, my boat is a white and light blue tornado. I'd be happy to tell you more and introduce you to some people.
Cheers
Todd Berget
