Hello! My 20 year old daughter is currently in Austin Texas for 8 weeks. She is keen to meet up with other Hobie 16 sailors. She would love to go for a sail however couldn't fit her kit in her baggage so is happy enough to watch a race or 2. She is also happy to travel around Texas. She has access to a car which makes it easier for her although scarier for me because she is driving on the wrong side of the road! She has sailed many Nationals, States and 2 world championships. Look forward to your responses. Katrina |

Unfortunately, there's almost no one-design Hobie 16 racing in that part of Texas. She'll have much better luck heading to the Dallas area (3 hour drive) or the Houston / Galveston area (about a 4 hour drive, depending on traffic). |

Thank you very much for your advice. Do you have the name of the sailing clubs in Houston and Dallas that would be best for her to reach out to? |

Turns out there is a local catamaran group in Austin - http://www.austincats.net/ - they're more of an open cat fleet (even though they still call themselves "Division 6" and Fleet 128 (the old Hobie fleet number)) |

If she is staying for a bit longer than 8 weeks, and is willing to sail on a crappy Hobie, she can come down to Port Aransas, I'll be living there mid April-onward. |
