Just down the road about three hours, we've reinstated Hobie Fleet 401 in Shreveport/Bossier, LA. Last time I was at Maumelle, three years ago, the Hobies were pretty active. But if you can't find any help there, shoot me an email and maybe I can help you out. I currently sail Hobies 14/16/20, but I had an 18 years ago. I can help you out with basic rigging questions, but I can't help you much as far as tuning it to be a competitive racer. Check out my post in the Racing section regarding our upcomig regatta, Holiday In Dixie on April 13-15, and follow the link to Shreveport Yacht Club for more details.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm actually going to Maumelle tomorrow for the keelboat races. I've heard that there are a few guys there who would help me out so I'll find out tomorrow if I'll be able to get any help around here.
