The Islander also has a Nacra 6.0 to rent for "well qualified" sailors.
If your at work turn your speakers off before clicking on this link, unless your boss doesn't mind calypso music!

The Islander Resort is the starting point for the Tybee 500 so I was their in May, it's really nice.
If you can't go that far south then Key Sailing in Pensacola Beach is about as Cat-friendly as it gets.

Lots of room at the Islander to store and launch your own cat and they don't mind you bringing your own boat. Not many resorts like that.

Kevin, the race season is about to kick off down here in fl. there are many many races and i am sure if you try... you can find a cat to crew on.
i would suggest searching NOR's on this site and other sites and asking around if anyone needs crew... -
