Launch Small Sailboat

General Off Topic

Looking for easy places to launch my small 13’ sailing skiff that weighs about 220#. No motor.

It has a trailer but I’d rather not launch at a public landing-too busy, hard to get in and sail away from a landing, don’t want to get in the way of powerboaters.

A beach launch is optimal.
Close to open water (so don’t have to sail or paddle from far up a creek)
Accessible by car-Then a short distance to roll a dolly to float the boat off
Not over any dunes or obstacles
No steep inclines

Does anyone know of any spots around Charleston that might fit the bill?

Your concern with holding up a landing is commendable. If you have the ability hit up a landing during the week when boat traffic is down. Someone here may have a suggestion other than a landing but I’m no help to you. especially with a car and not a 4x4 If you find a spot, maybe someone could help you with an ATV, 220# across sand aint fun.

Bowens Island would probably be a good spot, if you don’t mind paying a few bucks.
