I'm looking for some good sources of information on swimming the Catalina Channel. Contact from anyone who has made that swim would be extremely helpful. I'm interested in making the swim late next summer.
Thanks.

The other popular boat is the outrider. The owner learned the sport of ow swim piloting from his father. Both are great boats, I've been on (supporting) and escorted by both (Catalina solo 06, relay 08 and Anacpa Crossing of the Santa Barbara Channel last week). I've also kayaked and acted as pace swimmer off both. I would consider both boats and your needs.
