Have not but just googled pictures and looks like a great destination. Hoping to hear more about it.

On their website, it states that “There is a saying that if you can sail Lake Pleasant, you can sail anywhere,”

Can the conditions be that bad for such a statement to be made? There must be someone from Arizona who has sailed the lake?

Have sailed Lake Havasu several times over the years.

Summer is miserable but the fall and winter are gorgeous and there is usually a nice breeze.

It has tons of ramps and marinas.

And of course, The London bridge. I forget what the clearance is but I don't think a Mac can make it.

Unless you pull one of these.

I haven’t, as I have never had the need to, but I usually step and unstep the mast on the water, so no biggie with a little caution. And a good set of baby stays. :D
