I'm currently flirting with buying a Hobie and was just wondering what the recreational (beer cans) racing scene is like? I searched the forums and saw a reference to a fleet in Etobicoke but I couldn't find anything specific about the fleet. I did notice that the latest 3 members we're two Getaways and a 16. Any pointers or inside knowledge appreciated. thanks in advance CB |

Etobicoke is the place. Hobie Fleet 183. Contact Dan Borg at Dan_Borg(at)toyota.ca They have a great dry sail area with mast-up storage, bathrooms, showers, etc. They host a HCA Sanctioned Regatta the first weekend in June. |

Fanshawe Yacht Club in London, ON has a small fleet of 16s and some Darts. they have a beach area for the Cats, Chalet complete with Washroom, Kitchen and there is a shower near by. They host several Regattas including a Wednesday "rec league". I really enjoy it out there. Its an inland lake so you can sail pretty much anytime, even when the Great lakes are too rough. Heres a link to there web site http://www.fyc.on.ca/ |

You should let them know that there is a Hobie points regatta coming up in less than two weeks at Port Burwell Provincial Park. That's less than an hour's drive away. Regata de Gatos - June 16 and 17, Port Burwell Provincial Park NOR is here. All Hobie Cats are welcome. |

That regatta sounds like a blast but I am too much of newby right now. I will get to Port Burwell to watch though. |

Don't worry about being a n00b. You have to start somewhere. We already have a 16 C fleeter (novice) registered. Bring your boat - you'll get it tuned up for free! |

Don't want to hijack the post or anything, but I'm in Orillia.. just a couple hours north of Toronto. Is Fleet 183 the closest one to me then? |

There used to be a fleet on Lake Simcoe, but it's not listed as active anymore. If you get 4 other Hobie owners together, you can re-activate it! |

Thats what we at fleet 444 did. We, (read I), wanted a points event in Minnesota, so we re-activated an inactive fleet. Our regatta this weekend gained us 4 new fleet members. Our fun events have also gained some interest and a few new members as well. |
