Does anyone know more, has a link or would be willing to copy the NT News article about a catsailor going from Airlie Beach to Darwin on a Hobie 16. Its a trip I would like to do too, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the salties.

PS: I just joined and can post new threads in all forums except the Australian Catamaran Forum, it tells me I'm not logged in and I can't log in. Why is that ? EDIT: its OK now
