YES! We do have a number of clubs that have started taking catamarans. Alamitos Bay Yacht Club here in Long Beach, CA. The costs of ABYC are: $1200 to join (unless they are running a special). The spaces are about $65 a month which is cheap compared to public or private mast down storage which is miles from the water.
<br>
<br>King Harbor Yacht Club in Redondo Beach, CA (Los Angeles proper) has a great fleet of catamarans. Their commodore is a NACRA 5.8 sailor and welcomed us on AFTERBURNER personally when we were first to finish in the SAnta BArbara King Harbor race this August. Their prices are similar to ABYC's. Even Newport Harbor YC has accepted a few cats like A CLASS and NACRAs (They are VERY*** traditional) so the boats are making inroads. NHYC is way out of my budget but it's a great club and a pretty place to sail.
<br>
<br>The limitation to all of this is the total amount of space available and the waiting lists for spaces is growing at these clubs.
<br>
<br>We encourage all of our clients to invest in a membership at our local clubs as it is well worth the hot showers, seminars and good friends you will undoubtedly make.
