307.0. "Favorite Catamaran Haunts Survey" by BAHAMA::RYAN () Thu May 15 1986 18:39

  I'm returning to laser/catamaran sailing after a season of
  owning/cruising larger monohulls.  Since I know coastal N.E.
  from a cruiser's perspective (that is, deeper than my 4' draft),
  I'm specifically interested in learning more about favorite
  catamaran haunts: good beaches, good launching facilities, winds,
  nearby camping facilities, etc.  Naturally, negative information
  is just as important as the good.  I'm interested in both large
  lakes in N.H. and bay/ocean sailing.
  
  Any and all information would be appreciated.

307.1WELCOME BACK TO THE FUNMRMFG3::W_ROBINSONFri May 16 1986 08:5617
    
    Check out note 298. Most of the regattas are in excellent spots
    but then the organisation helps. Personally I love Pleasant bay
    to fly hulls and muck about in, the water there is so warm going
    over is even fun. 
      I found that the Sailors Almanack (from Bliss) is an excellent
    book for locations. They list all the slips in N.E. and quote if
    there are any costs for launching/restrictions.
      If it is a Hobie you have why not consider racing with a fleet.
    You certainly get some great places to sail with the support of
    safety boats and you do learn a lot. A few of us are going tomorrow
    to Greenwich R.I. for a 2 day regatta. If you want directions just
    send me mail.
