New Poll -- Do you use a wind indicator?
I recently participated in a catamaran regatta where I managed to start both days of catamaran racing whithout my trusty Hobie Bridle Fly. (That's the red mylar one in the Hobie Catalog, part CM7703 $15.00) I found it much more difficult to determine my best tacking angles sailing both upwind and down. Do you use a bridle fly or wind indicator such as a Telo Cat on your catamaran? Please vote in the new poll at the right of this page.

Free Web Hosting for beachcat sailors, clubs and fleets.
A lot of catamaran sailing clubs, catamaran associations, Hobie Cat Fleets, and individual catamaran sailors would like to have a sailing website but don't have the budget to pay for hosting.
Since I feel that every catamaran sailing organization and individual catamaran sailor should be able to have a home on the web, I've decided to offer free web-hosting and email to any non-commercial website primarily devoted to catamaran sailing.

Worrell 1000 cancelled for 2003
*** Press Release from the Worrell 1000 ***
The management of the Worrell 1000 regrets to announce that the 2003 Worrell 1000 is cancelled. A key investor defaulted on his financial commitment to fund the acquisition of charter boats and subsequent efforts for alternate financing simply ran out of time. Neither Bimare Catamarans, the North American Bimare Distributor, W.F. Oliver, nor the F-18HT class share any responsibility in this matter.
Poll results say more found TheBeachcats.com by links.
The Poll that is titled "How did you find this site" revealed the fact that more people found TheBeachcats.com from links on other sites than other means. I was surprised by this, figuring that most folks would have come to the site from either the beachcats mailing list, or search engines.
A big thanks to all who have put a link to TheBeachcats.com on their website. The Catamaran Links Directory here at TheBeachcats.com makes it easy for you to add sites you feel would interest our members. Webmasters, please consider linking to TheBeachcats.com on your sailing related sites.
Catsail.com donates content to TheBeachcat.com
Bill Mattson, long-time publisher of the On The Wire Ezine for catamaran sailors at Catsail.com, has announced that he will no longer publish the magazine. He has generously donated all the archives and material from On The Wire to TheBeachcats.com.
I would like to formally thank Mr. Mattson for entrusting the results of years of hard work to TheBeachcats.com. I have added a link to a complete mirror of everything that was on Catsail.com to the main menu of this site. If you never had the pleasure of reading Bill's Ezine in the past, I suggest you take a look now.

The calendar is nearly empty, now is your chance to announce regattas or other beachcats events. The calendar is proving to be a very popular information source for our members. Please submit any events still scheduled for this year, and if you already have dates for 2003 go ahead and submit them also.
Got something to sell? Why not place a FREE classified ad with picture while people are still sailing? Earn some money to pay for that winter project.
I'm planning to use the Bookstore as a reference point to start book discussions on the Beachcats mailing list. So add your favorite sailing related book (especially beachcats books) to the bookstore.
Anybody have any ideas for a new poll?
