I went to the BYC website and it seems like they sponser mainly monohull events from this lake. Has anyone launched from BYC? Is there a beach or do you need to use the boat launch and tie up at the dock?
H-18
Hopefully you meant BSC not BYC. There is plently of setup area and a 2 boat launch ramps. Usually everyone ties up to the docks expect for the nice fancy boats
Glen,
Birmingham Sailing Club has a long and rich history. Many multihull national champions, hall of fame sailors, etc. have participated on multihulls over the years at BSC. BSC is also deep in tradition as the fore father of the Leukemia Cup, which last year had over 17,000 active participants from across the nation, helping raising money to cure cancer. http://www.leukemiacup.org/what/
Please watch the video on the provided link, since I don't know how to embed the video here. Maybe someone will do it for me.
The club is a comfortable and beautiful setting, overlooking (from the premier hand picked real estate when the lake was built) the waters of Logan Martin Lake. Camping is great, which usually presents you with a wake up overlooking a dense fog on the water that soon burns off. The weather is usually good and the season is prime for camping.

Well turns out dad can't make it this weekend due to work. So if anyone needs a crew let me know, or if anyone knows someone that would want to crew with my on the 16 let me know.

I hate it, but I'm not making it to Cat Caper. First one I've missed in a few years. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful clear weekend with light air, just the kind of thing I like this time of year.
Hope you have a good one, make sure and take pictures and let us know how it goes.
