Sailboats

So we picked up a 1983 Hobie 16 in great shape today. I've not sailed a "cat" before and there's a little more to it than other boats that I've sailed, but I love to sail and I'm sure that this is more than enough boat for a good long time for me. Should be way fun to learn about this boat, get it all rigged up and fixed up (not really much to do other than a little cleaning and some new ropes). Hoping to get all the paperwork done and numbers, plates and other bureaucratic silliness done so that I can get it in the water in a couple of weeks to enjoy it for the late summer.
