Hi everyone,
I picked up my first Hobie Cat and took her on a test sail at Stampede Reservoir in Northern California. Really fun and I can't wait to sail on Lake Tahoe next summer. I've been a long time lurker so thanks to everyone who previously posted advice! Anyone else here in the Tahoe area?

The boat looks great! There isn’t an active fleet at Tahoe, but Fleet 2 is active in the Sierras, so check in with them.

Looks good. Be sure to check those 40+ year old hulls for soft spots.

Also, something appears to be rigged incorrectly with your main halyard. The portion of the line that comes back down the mast should be inside the mast, coming down the sail track - yours looks like it is routed outside of the mast.

I have a Nacra F18, located in Truckee. Would love to get some group sailing in this summer!

Nice looking boat. You should have a great time with it. I sail its little brother, a 2000 H17Sport. Our favorite sailing spot is Wallula Gap sailing out of Port Kelly in eastern Washington (see places to sail, The Gap) so if you are every up this way you should give it a try.
