I have just ordered several multihull books including these.

That is a problem. I live in Montreal (Canada) not exactly a hotbed of beach 
cats (no beaches) The boat is in Spain, and most Spaniards are fat lazy 
buggers(well, actually skinny lazy buggers) (VBG)  (made so by all the money 
the Brits bring with them when they move to the Costa Blanca) and they would 
rather cruise around in their motor yachts than sail a beach cat. Maybe I 
have to convince my wife I have to take a holiday in Cuba or the Islands and 
and practice there.
