Are there any active A Cat sailors in CT? I am interested in learning about the class. Unfortunately, I missed Newport, Sandy Hook, and will miss the Hopatcong events. I would be will to help out in order to learn.

I am a catamaran sailor. I launch from Barn island boat launch in Stonington. But I am looking for ways to sail with other cats elsewhere. I have sailed in Old Lyme years ago.
I have a Gforce 21 but prefers my Falcon F16 carbon. My Falcon is INCREDIBLE. I hesitated with A cats after watching a regatta at Hopatcong a few years ago but they are two fragile and strictly a single handed boat for me. -

Is the lake you sail on big enough to hoist the spinnaker on your Tiger and/or Blade? Is wind really unpredictable most of the time like it usually is on little lakes? Do you sail your Corsair F 24 on that lake or trailer to the ocean and if so where? -

Our lake is plenty big. We fly everything on all the boats including the Corsair. I wouldn't say the wind is unpredictable but it is shifty a good deal of the time. It makes you a better sailor.
