Waterbug,

I believe we met a few years back at JPOR.

Yes the water is skinny in front of the beach (not a problem on a H16). You can sail out the channel as the wind is seldom on the nose. Lots of parking for trailers.

In 2 weeks we are hosting the National Sunfish Masters Regatta there. See the NOR at the Punta Gorda Sailing Club. It lists the local hotels.
