I'm in New Orleans and sail out of New Orleans Yacht Club. No real beach access into the lake for cats in New Orleans. I use a hoist at NOYC which is actually quite easy, although you do have to be skilled at docking a cat when you return from your sail. But New Orleans is a fun town!
Closest real cat sailing club to New Orleans is Ocean Spring Yacht Club, about an hour and a half east of New Orleans in Ocean Springs MS. Nice club with plenty of beach to sail on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. If you want to avoid yacht clubs, the Mississippi Gulf Coast has plenty of public beach access for cats with almost no surf. Feel free to PM me for local info.
If you wanted to rent a boat, I believe Key Sailing in Pensacola, FL rents Hobie Getaways.
