[quote=domromer]I'm located in clearwater Florida. The club has all of the current hobies made and some other brands as well that I'm not familiar with. In terms of the other cats I'm not really sure which can be single handed and when I've got enough skills to move up to another boat. I guess that's something to talk to them about.
Luckily I've got nothing but time on my hands. I just moved to Clearwater from SC and I'm in the process of looking for work. In the meantime I've been sailing about 4 hours a day for a week or so. I just can't get enough of it. I was shocked at how easy it was to pick up. I was always a little intimidated by the j-22s but after my first sail on the hobie I was hooked. In fact I took my wife out for her first sail a few nights ago and she really likes it as well. I'm glad I joined the club and tried the cats.
My other plan was to buy a sunfish and learn on my own. That would have been a huge mistake. I took a sunfish out a few days ago and man was that thing cramped and uncomfortable. No matter what boat I end up with in the future I think I will definitely have a cat as well. I can't think of a better way to tak advantage of the 86f water we have here.
