If your planing a Florida vacation anytime soon and can drive er down, we can talk. :):) Looking for a Suncat a little closer to home.
Well, if we do not sell her by January or February,,, that may be do-able..... where in Florida??
SW florida. Charlotte Harbor. Charlotte County. We have 1 here year round and will have 2 more here in the winter. If I find one we will have a fleet of 4. Local sailing club will give us our own start for racing.
Hurrah!
There are at least 2, possibly 3, other Suncats in Central Florida that would probably join you in racing one-design. Still the best way to learn how to get the most out of your boat, besides being a whole lot of fun! I am located on the other side of the state, but would trailer to events.
Planning is underway (sort of) for the 2010 Sun Cat National Championship Regatta (http://bbs.trailersailor.com/forums/catboat/index.cgi?read=33800,regatta), to be held Novemberish, if we get around to it.
Looking forward to the supposed "Suncat National Championship Regatta". Could be great fun, even if loosely organized, like it sounds like it might be! I will reserve a place on my mantel for the paper cup trophy!!
Tom is the Official "Jib Trimmer in Charge". This is a special get together. On the serious side, the Ponta Gorda Sail Club www.PGSCweb.com is our local club that will provide use with racing every other weekend just about year round. We also have about 4 very large regattas here during the year.

Good grief! If we're going to actually have people travel we might have to race at a set time, rather than when we just all happen to spot a nice day at the same time! It would be fun to have a herd of Sun Cats, beyond what we can muster locally...
How about November 13-14, the second weekend of the month? Our snowbirds should be here by then.
Will tentatively put on my calendar! No formalities necessary for me; just would look forward to the herd (as you put it). If all does not work out, nothing lost. Keep it all simple. Others are doing it, so can we "Suncatters".
It might be surprising how many Suncats are in the region.
Hee hee! That's all the encouragement I need. Stay tuned for further official announcements from the Head Catboat Jib Trimmer In Charge (that's me, since no one else seems to want the job!)
I think we need to start a new thread. This one belongs to Aldog.
Thanks, guys. I really don't mind the hijack, I enjoy the banter. I'm really glad to hear that there are others who enjoy these boats for what they can do. Not too many around here. The boat is still for sale. Hope to send it somewhere to be used.

Well, I can buy it and you can deliver it for one last sail!
SOLD! Sadly, but went to a good home here on the Cape. Maybe in the future, will buy another....
Congrats, Aldog. And Butch, you still have a few months to find a Championship quality Sun Cat.
I never race, but for those who do: I view the SunCat as the ultimate personal trailer-sailer for sailboat-cruising single-handed, both on land and water. Many features in the SunCat have been designed and built bearing in mind its ability to trailer on land and the ease with which it can be launched, rigged and retrieved. Hence, a true single-design SunCat Championship may need to include a leg on land and instances at the ramp... Trailering, Launching and Sailing... Kind of a "SunCat Triathlon" (a "SunCathlon..."?) :)

We're actually going to try to do something like that at the Sun Cat Nationals (http://www.suncatnationals.com). There is no boat ramp available capable of launching all the boats at once, so as the next best thing we are going to race under two low bridges. Use of engines will be permitted when within sight of the bridges.
This is one of the bridges:

Too bad I am so far away or I may have made an exception about never racing and tried my luck at ducking under that bridge... Also, very nice website. Best of lucks to all organizers and participants!
