Hi Jonh,
Thank you for you post and apologies for not replying sooner.
The community here is mainly based around Dart catamarans, There is one other H16 owner and a Hobie Wildcat owner. All cats of this size fall under the small cat class of which I have met the captain on a number and who has been very helpful and is amiable.
So, a pal and I took out the H16 for the second time the other day. We completed setting her up on the beach when a group of Chinese tourists turned up and started taken pictures, they eventually moved on to replaced by a group of Japanese tourists that proceeded to do the same, then to top it off this fella turned up with two stunning chicks and asked if they could model with the boat for a few shots. Hahaha it was great! I remember thinking, would this have happened with a dingy?
We did finally get to sail her, though it was quiet nerve racking casting off for what was the second time sailing ever and with all these onlookers, onlooking. I think we got lucky though as everything fell into place and we sailed off like a couple of pros, well, I don't think we embarrassed ourselves too much
All the best,
SRG
