Loyalist has hosted the Soling Canadians many times with a good race committee and mark boats.I have raced in the regatta with the likes of Hans Fogh ( Canadian Olympic medalist ) Stuart Walker (Sailing hall of fame )and a list of other rock stars.We found the area to be excellent for racing, good wind and flat water.Parties were arranged under tents with bands. I suggest we need a least 7 boats to make this a stand alone,or it can be paired up with a Soling or around Amherst regatta,there is some flexibility.Best place to get boats in and out,great people to deal with and my favorite place to sail.Derek I also sail on a Farr 44 so maybe lyra and the Can-Ams in Olsons if there are enough ,
I think our best turn out was in Sept in Barrie so we should offer that at Loyalist. the other times you suggest for Loyalist conflict with other regattas that some of us would like to sail too
How would a 3 day regatta Sept. 12 to 14 at Loyalist work for everyone. Have we heard from any of the other boats Dave
We need more boats preferences for location of the N/As so we can get focused. The object is to get the biggest fleet possible.There seam to be only 4 of us involved so far how do we contact the others? We need at least 5 for Youngstown to be considered. I will go to either Youngstown or Loyalist.I talked to Loyalist on Fri. they will do what ever we want to host the N/As there ie: $25 travel lift launch,party,any date that suits us including Sept.,possible parring with Soling or their around Amherst regattas,entrance fees and launching not to exceed $200. I think this location would give us the most boats as their are ,2 in Kingston,1 in Montreal,1 in Ottawa,1 in Rochester,a few in eastern U.S.,and all of us from eastern lake Ontario.Could be great but we need to know who would come and what their preference is
We need others owners to weigh in on this discussion as to location and best time of year for them.There is accommodation options with in 10mins again B&Bs and the Mil haven Inn nothing expensive . We can even discuss tenting,I have an RV and will stay on the property. What time of year gets us the most boats everyone please reply
I talked to Dave Hinton owner of Loyalist Cove Marina he said having the NAs there would be great. they have a new travel lift there and said he would launch the boats for a nominal charge of something like $25 . He could organize a race committee and the long distance race could be around Amherst island. Would we prefer Sept. when the kids are back in school? What month suits us best any thoughts
I had also suggested Loyalist Cove in Bath, just outside of Kingston.The marina can either ramp launch or travel lift. I did the Soling Canadians there they did a great regatta.We could run it there in June or Sept if that would be better for owners with families
there were a lot of B&Bs near by Youngstown also at Niagara on the lake,as long as we book early should be no problem
would anyone like me to pursue Bath or Youngstown
Another option is Bath just outside of Kingston. Great area for sailing. I am sure they would accommodate us as I have mentioned the N/As to them before and they seemed willing
Planning is still at an early stage I could contact Finkle and see about having a long distance race on Friday
how about we do the N/As at the new Can-Am regatta in Youngstown New York
