in oriental right at the foot of the bridge is decent access. i bought my h17 there last summer and test sailed it from there. my buddy and i went strait out into the sound until the mainsail started vaporizing from being rolled up and left outside on top of the tramp for a year or two. anyway, i hauled it back to charleston. this is the place to sail. i love my harbor. launch from station 12 on sullivan's island next to fort moultrie at the inlet. no trax needed. the road goes down to the sand, unhook and push it to the water on the trailer. notice the one power line, don't drive on the beach, leave your trailer on the beach
