Catamarans are welcome at Austin Yacht Club Spring Regatta, April 5. Format is one-day, 2-race regatta. First race is AYC to Lakeway, second race is Lakeway to AYC. Distance is typically 6-10 miles each way, depending on S/F line locations, and whether rounding of certain permanent LCRA marks is required for cats. The lake is very full, 681'MSL, so there is plenty of sailing area, making for more tactical choices.
