Hello All,
 My name is Chris and I'm the proud owner of a Suncat ("Second Wind") which I bought used in Philadelphia, PA a couple of years ago.  I live outside of Yellow Springs, Ohio which is near Dayton, OH. I spent considerable time getting the oxidation off and cleaning up the teak to my satisfaction.  I sail local lakes such as Indian Lake, Ceasers Creek, Buck Creek and Lake Erie.  I am looking forward to expanding my travels to other locations now that I have some experience under my belt.  I was a Hobie Cat owner/sailor before the Suncat. Right now I'm planning on attending the 2014 Suncat Regatta in Punta Gorda.  That's a long ways south.  I couldn't make it this year.  I would enjoy meeting up with other Suncat sailors in Ohio and Indiana.  Let me know if your out there.  I tried to add a picture but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum! Hope you can make it to the Suncat nationals. Charlotte Harbor is a great place to sail. We liked it so much that we relocated to Punta Gorda! We had a Suncat prior to moving to a Horizon Cat. Both are fantastic boats!

Chris,

Welcome to the Sun Cat Family. I'm sure you will enjoy sailing "Second Wind" and fully appreciate just how easy it is to rig, derig, launch, and recover.

I too am located on Charlotte Harbor, home of the Sun Cat Nationals, and look forward to meeting and sailing with you in 2014.

Welcome Chris:
   If I didn't own a 23, the Suncat would be my next choice. My daughter used to live in Punta Gorda...when I visited her, I really liked the area. Not to mention Capt. Nemo's gracious hospitality! Again, welcome!

Craig,  I stopped by Laishley Park Marina on my way down to Marco Island the first week of December.  I was hoping to run into some Compac Cat folks while passing through.  Is your Horizon Cat harbored there?  If so I saw it. Beautiful boat! I chatted with the lady restoring the Ericson 31 across the dock from your boat.
  I stopped in Punta Gorda a couple of years ago and that visit sold me on the Suncat.  During that visit I met Dick K.and motored out in the harbor area with him in his Suncat for a few minutes and I met Charlie and Isabelle and chatted with them on their Horizon Cat.  I'm looking forward to meeting you in the future.  Happy New Year!

Somehow I missed this until now. I'm in Columbus (Westerville) and sail Hoover Reservoir on a slipped Cp19. Would be fun to sail together sometime this summer. I attend the CLR event kicknbug mentioned too. About the only time I take the boat out during the season. Pm me and well get together sometime. Another CP19 here as well
