Hobies for sail in Chicago area??

I'm 13 and I've been sailing for 3 years now. Its really annoying and pricey to have to rent a boat all the time so I've been looking to find my own. I'm on a sailing team but we race 420's and i just want a catamaran for fun when I'm not out at a regatta with my friends. I've been looking at 16's but i cant find one for sale anywhere near Chicago. I'm definitely buying a used one that's from 1990+. I have a job and have some money for it me and 2 friends are buying it so our budget is $1,500. If we have to we could buy a Getaway instead but we would prefer a 16. So i just need to find a seller.
Thanks,
