Sailboat shopping on Lake Lanier
 

I'll be in Atlanta for a few days before/after New Years and thought I
might do some window shopping for a smallish sailboat on Lake Lanier.
Looking along the lines of a Catalina 22 +/- or similar. Last time I
toured that area (2 yrs ago), I saw a couple boat storage yards with
For Sale signs on quite a few boats. I wasn't shopping then though. I
don't know if I can find those same storage yards again, but I'll try.
Meanwhile, is there an area in particular where I need to look? Or
Brokers I need to put on my shopping list? Or other suggestions?
TIA,
Rick

Make sure you contact Snug Harbor, they represent Catalina on Lake
Lanier and will have brokered boats available.

If you are intending to sail on Lanier, perhaps you'd want a sailboat with
wheels to run along the dry lake bed.


Ah ha! I always thought Waylon Smithers had 'training wheels' on his
imaginary boat....... now I realize it's to help roll along the lake bottom.

You must be a mind reader. I'll need wheels. Not for Lake Lanier, but
for sailing 400 miles down I-85 to I-65 to I-10 and home.
Thanks,

Been there. I think I can find 'em again. I'll give 'em a call for
directions though.

Brokers will ask "What Drought?" and try to hold up the prices.

Here's a better place with much lower commissions:

Just change atlanta to your favorite city for more local
listings.

Craig's List is a great place to advertise and buy anything....
