[quote=JohnES][quote=samc99us]Genehacker, John is talking about Mission Bay Yacht Club which is very friendly towards beach catamarans.

It is a general shame that mast up beach storage is no longer a reality in most of the United States. I think that has killed a lot of beach cat sailing off. Heck, most east coast U.S sailing isn't even done in the ocean anymore!! Its more important that the average american can take their iphone, 3 coolers, grill, lawn chair and tent to the beach than to provide for some mast up storage, which god forbid might block the ocean view of the top 1% and their mcmansions. Meanwhile in Europe catsailors and the beach community get along just fine with mast up storage every 5km or less.[/quote]

Yes, MBYC....

Santa Barbara has a very friendly beach cat beach... Ledbetter Beach.  The cost for the permit is $250 and you should get a parking permit too... $120.

My Prindle 18 summered there last year and liked the situation..

Getting back to Samc99us....  with many of my travels to the EU and other places I can't believe the liberal attitude towards beach cats on both the ocean and lakes.[/quote]
