About the WNY Catamaran Association
Fleet 119 is a member of the Hobie Class Association. Founded in the mid 1970s by a group of beach sailors that fell in love with these fast wind machines, we've been in the Western New York area ever since. The club now supports other catamarans and has always been around the Angola New York area with homes at Point Breeze, Grandview Bay, Bennett and Wendt Beaches. In 2005 we moved to our new location at New York State's Evangola State Park in Angola, New York, where we currently have about thirty-five boats that are stored and beach-launched.

Pre- Season Safety Tip 1 - Rigging
When you least expect it, a weakness in rigging can result in the loss of your mast. I hate when that happens. Prevent injury and worse yet, embarrassment, by thoroughly checking all shroud and stay wires for fraying or cracks in hardware and swage fittings. Any through fittings at the hull and the hull itself should also be examined and tightened so they do not work loose or begin cracking. A visual inspection can find most problems.
Tall ship sailors were pretty tough and checked their wire rigging by running them through their calloused hands until they caught on a frayed wire. Ouch! You may elect to have your crew perform that procedure.
