Hello!
I am considering purchasing a Hobie Cat 14 or 16 in Los Angeles and I am trying to find the best storage option. First off, I would much prefer not to trailer because I have never trailered, so I am trying to get creative.
I found many different dinghy racks and beach storage places. Marina del Rey has a dinghy storage rack which I called and found out that there is a 1.5-year waitlist (so that is not an option anymore). Long Beach also has a dinghy storage rack, but it is very far away from Santa Monica which is where we live. Santa Barbara (which is a 2-hour drive) has a beach catamaran storage at Leadbetter Beach. I have a map online of all of the options here:

Which storage is best? Should I learn to trailer?
Thank you so much,
Elliot
