[quote=Hobiercr]Welcome to Tampa! The best place to sail in this entire area is Dunedin Causeway in Dunedin (which is north of Clearwater). Just take Curlew Road (SR 586) all the way to the West end and you will see the launch site. We launch on the West end of the causeway before the last (small) bridge to Honeymoon Island. This area is ONLY for non-motorized craft launch so the jet skis have to stay at the East end of the causeway. You can back right up to the water, unload and take a 2 minute sail out the Pass and you are into the Gulf! There are bathrooms, a food concession and plenty of other sailors to help step the mast, etc, if you need a hand.
For stick up storage your best bet is either Davis Island Yacht Club at the South end of Davis Island or the Clearwater Sailing Center on Sand Key (just South of Clearwater Beach). Another GREAT place is the Gulfport Yacht Club in Gulfport (WAY South St Pete). This place sits on Biscayne Bay nad has a very active schedule. No direct access to the Gulf but great protected sailing and 2 buoy races a month!
We are having a two day buoy regatta on May 10-11 if you want to come join or we have distance races almost once a month. Check out our website at www.tampabaycatsailors.com for the complete Calendar.
Send me a note if you need more information.
See you on the water.
