| Post subject: | Deciding on my first Hobie |
First time posting to the Hobie forum and I have somewhat of an odd request. Prior to purchasing my first Hobie Cat I would like to test one out. There are no reasonable rental locations to do so in my area. I am located in the Wilmington Island/Tybee Island area of Georgia, and I am in search of someone who would like to take me out for a sail on one of their Hobie Cats. I would like to discuss compensation with whomever is interested. I am requesting this because I am not ready to commit the cash of buying without knowing if sailing a Hobie is for me. Thank you for your considerations! |

Google found this, in case it helps... http://www.stsimonskayaking.com/sailing.html I had the same issue (I'm in PA) and ended up driving quite a way to find a place that gave lessons. |

You are smart to try before you buy. Even smarter to get someone with experience to help you evaluate a potential purchase. Contact the Division 9 folks in GA, SC, etc., and see if they can't hook you up with someone. Most catsailors are eager to help where feasible. http://hcana.hobieclass.com/hobie-fleets/ |

Jerome, Thanks for the link! I will look into that as well. I recently had someone reach out to me and let me know that they sail Hobies with a couple of other guys. He told me that he'd let me know the next time they went out. It would be cool to get into some kind of a club as well if I end up choosing to purchase a catamaran. |
