What's "New", on the Sandpiper 565 Website?  &  Website Web counter Stats.

   
May 11 2021 We're back! We were alerted that the forums were offline, hence did some investigating and the problem was a result of the internet web hosting server had moved everything to another server. Today we also upgraded the forum software to the newest version. Will be authorizing users to use the forums. Sorry about that.

We've back! Our Sandpiper has been  hauled out and is being winterized. This year has been an interesting one for everyone. We've had some free time and started to uploaded some new Videos to our Sandpiper565.com channel on You-Tube. We also created some play-lists videos on the channel of other Sandpiper Owners. If you have a video do let us know and do subscribe. Next will updating this website.

The 2019 Sandpiper Rendezvous video is full of those crusty old salt Sandpiper Pirates with a few Sea dogs thrown in and includes a Sea Battle at the end. Wished that you were there.

Sandpiper 565 Rendezvous Update

If you were wondering if the 2020 Sandpiper Rendezvous would be held this year, well it's now official, it has been cancelled due to Covid-19.

This year D'Arcy our Rendezvous organizer/host had planned our Rendezvous to take place in August on beautiful Lake Joseph by Lake Muskoka. This area is very pretty and the location is more central to allow more to attend. Now with the international boarder being closed we would be missing out on all of our American friends plus travel restrictions that are asking everyone to remain closer to their homes.

But in its place we are asking for Sandpiper Owners during the month of August to create a "Virtual, Rendezvous - I Sailed Here". With each crew taking lots of pictures and recording the details of their sailing trips close to home, so they can be all posted online here together in a special Rendezvous section to recapture the excitement that the Rendezvous creates. Just email us all your details.

Mar 9, 2019 Our Congratulations go out to the Michigan Sandpiper Boat Crew "Ergie". For racing their Sandpiper 565 in the the "Florida Everglades Challenge 2019. We have moved the story from the main page to a new 565 Racing page.
Dec. 14 2018 Psst! An early rumour...

That the 2019 Sandpiper 565 Rendezvous  could be held on the August 9-12 weekend, and on Lake Mazinaw.

It would become a combined event with the open Sail Mazinaw sailing group (any type of sailboat) so other boats eg; CL16, CL14, CL12, and dinghy's can also attend. For this group the Provincial Bon Echo Campground is located at the narrows in the middle of the north and south sections of the lake and is great for those who have no sleeping cockpits, or for those who wish to stay longer and sail even more.
June 4 2018 May 21, 2018 David Ventresca, the owner of C&L Boatworks, has retired from boatbuilding after 25 years of C&L service and has sold the C&L brand and assets to Geoff Martin of Velocity BoatWorks, based in Belleville, Ontario.

Geoff has extensive fibreglass manufacturing and mold-making experience and is a builder of the i550 Sportboat. He’s ready to start taking care of all existing and new C&L customers.
