Rendezvous Gatherings.
6th Annual, August of 2010
Where will the 2010 Sandpiper 565
Rendezvous be? Get onboard and help out and cast your vote in the
pre-planning and location selection. This year let's set a new record for
having the most Sandpipers gathered and trailered, together at this
event. Do check out the message forum at CL Sailboats (check the Discussion Groups).
One suggestion is the Ottawa
River. (The
Ottawa River Sailing Page) do take time to
read the forum and input your suggestions and locations.
More details will be posted here
once plans have been formalized.
5th Annual, August 14 - 17, Bayport
Marina in Midland Ontario
The 2009 Rendezvous was held in
Midland Ontario utilizing the Bayport
Yachting Centre facilities as home base. The Bayport
facilities were top notch, very clean, and the staff were very helpful.
Bayport also helped out the Rendezvous with a reduction in price for the
entire group.
The Launch and Haul out used the
public boat launch located beside the Midland Sailing Club which was
next door to Bayport.
Some of the Rendezvous highlights were;
 |
Sailing to the top of Beausoleil
Island Provincial Park. |
|
Overnight rafting. |
|
Sailing back down and over to Giant's Tomb Island (but when only a few miles away
the entire group decided that there were closer swimming areas. |
|
Swimming as the hot weekend temperatures
was 31+ degrees F. |
|
A Chance of winning a new set
of tanbark coloured sails (main and jib) that CL Sailboats donated.
They were won by John Cunningham. |

4th,
August 8 - 10, Lake Ontario, Bay of Quinte (Belleville to Picton) 2008.
This year includes 26 miles of Sailing. Launch at the
city of Bellville and haulout at Picton. There is a message
thread on the CL forum on this event.
3rd Annual, Lake Rosseau (Village of Rosseau,
Muskoka Area) 2007.
Same great location with 9 Sandpipers attended and 20 miles
of sailing. This year on the the second night at anchor will have access to a primitive cottage bathroom and wood
fired hot tub. The Village of Rosseau is located at the north end of Lake
Rosseau.
The lake is smaller than others, but has much to offer the trailer sailors. It’s
beautiful small village is not as commercial as
many areas in Muskoka but offers much more to do. Rosseau offered clean clear water
with no weeds. Excellent low slope ramp for launching. Excellent mooring with washrooms and showers. Covered gazebo in case it
rains. Public dock adjacent to park with superb sandy beach. Muskoka Lakes Marina located next to the public dock. The marina is set up
primarily for powerboats but they do have other supplies including charts.
Rosseau General store, Post Office, LCBO / Beer Store, Several bed & breakfasts
in the Village, and Farmers market on Fridays. muskoka_lakes_map.htm
