Sometime down the road, we are going to retire somewhere where we can sail more than 4 months a year. Lake Norman is a possibility. I was wondering - how high is the clearance under I77? If you launch in the northeast quadrant (Iredell County, I think), is your range limited by the interstate? Thanks - Mike

Good one Phil....
I think that with all the posts that you read you are loosing it. Get a grip! r.w.landau

No clearance
Mike, There is no bridge on I77; it is a causeway that runs north south which is the eastern boudary of the sailable area. On the north side the sailable area is HWY 150. It has bridges but none of them high enough to clear a sailboat mast. That leaves an area about 12 miles long to sail but only a mile or two across. The lake has a lot of fingers which does give it a 500+ miles coastline. As far as the brides I am married so I'd better shut up now!

Sorry Mike
My typing is so bad I'm the last person who should be making light of a simple typo... but I have to say this is one of the best I've ever seen here. Anyway, I'm glad you got the information you needed!

Wow - best typo?
I am honored to have achieved a place in forum notoriety! I've got to stop posting late at night. Thanks Denis - helps explain why I saw a waterfront lot listed at a price well below what I expected. Maybe next time I'll just pull out a map

East versus West
Mike you are correct; the lots tend to be cheaper north of hwy 150 and east of I77.In the sailable area, on the East side of the lake (Davidson Huntersville Cornelius etc...) you can expect roughly $500K for a lot. If you go on the West side, because it is further and more difficult to get to Charlotte, you can find some around $250K. Keep in mind these are rough figures and depend on the lot size.
