Are you ready for Catapalooza?

September 13 & 14, 2008
at the Keowee Sailing Club in South Carolina.
 


Are you interested in an exhilarating, physical, and challenging water sport that doesn't require gasoline?
Join us for Catapalooza!

Perhaps you or your family already own a boat but don't use it very often because of parts issues or apprehension about sailing techniques? Maybe you already sail but want to try a multihull? Even if you do not own a boat, this program is designed to introduce individuals and families to the experience of multihull sailing. Instruction on sailing techniques, racing rules, and/or safety will be available and there will be “fun run” distance races. The formal event activities are up to the participants but there will be a strict focus on relaxing, sailing, and fun! Demonstration boats will be available as will positions on boats with experienced sailors. Be sure to contact us early to lock in a ride!

Small sailing multihulls are exhilaratingly fast (speeds up to 25 mph), lightweight, don't require special tow vehicles, and can be launched into the water from just about any location. They've been breaking the traditional sailing scene since the 1960's when the first Hobie Cat brand “beachcat” became popular. Those very designs are still alive and well today and in many cases, a 20 year old boat can play or race on an even level with boats built last week. Other catamaran classifications push the edge of technology for greater performance and speed and the physical requirements range from mild to extreme. There is a style of beach cat available for every budget, every family, and every individual.

Catapalooza is an event designed for fun and to introduce people into the sport. To show that you are interested in this opportunity, please visit fill out and submit the form below.
