Two sites come to mind:
Hecksher, because it also has camping. Always decent wind.

Cedar beach in Southold. You can launch there during the day. Maybe someone can figure out the permit process for leaving stuff in lot overnight, and locate a nearby campground.

Unfortunately Cedar beach is a county park. They do not allow fires or overnight camping. Some of the residents who live nearby have called the local police who call the park police everytime I have held clambakes for LICSA. It's great for daytime club get-togethers but I have to find a nearby location where boats could stay mast-up overnight. Greg

I guess noone is interetsed in entertaing the racing thougt,
any fresh idea to keep racing going?

If there was a place on Long Island where we can leave the boats (saftely) with mast up, I would consider moving to LI...Currently sailing out of Sandy Hook, but living in NYC I'd prefer the commute to LI over the one to NJ...

Alex, I know of several guys here in CT that would be interested, but it would have to be a 2day event that has capacity to leave the boats setup overnight, to justify the ride over there.

I am presently negotiating for the use of Orient State Park for two day races next year. The park closes at dusk and the ranger lives there. The boats would be safe overnight. We could race in Gardiners Bay, around Shelter Island or into the Peconic Bays. The park has barbecue grills, bathrooms and a concession stand. There is even a playground for your kids to amuse themselves while you race. It's very accessible for New England sailors. If I can get permission this would be a great venue. Greg

great idea.
it would help to have that kind of reagattas monthly and to have a club support. anyone knows of the club with the beach that would be intersted to organize the cat regattas?

hi guys
there is a lot of traffic on this subject, may be the most active thread at the moment, but very few replies.

there are several people that would like to be actively involved in making the regular racing happen and even trying to build a fleet.
but we need your support.
if you remotely interested and open to entertain an idea of getting togheter and disucss the action plan, pls send your replies with your contact information or email me to my personal af8mail@yahoo.com.

here is the wish list:
club or sailing association that would support multihull events and has mast up storage, or
a beach where you can keep boats and launch the races off the beach
or anything else that can get us organized.

I just came back from F18 Nationals, there were 41 F18 from everywhere including canada , austarlia and Holland,
there were no boast from NY metro, not to mentioned LI.
there is a new fleet fo F16 buliding, new Blade coming out for alter cup, but there are none in this area.
ther is a big fleet of A-cats out there, but noone racing it here,
all above are new , hi tech, exciting boats, if there is any interest we could build the fleet and try to revive the cat racing.

.

cheers

So far I have verbal permission from the park manager to hold 2-day races at Orient State Park next summer. I have to get our club insurance in order and produce a letter of intent. We can keep our boats on the beach overnight with the masts up. We could race saturday, have a barbecue/party then come back sunday to race again. This location makes it easy for CT and MA sailors to join in. It would be great to hold races one weekend each month from june-sept. We're going to have a meeting for anyone who is interested. I'm thinking sometime in november. Greg

Gregg
November sounds good, where do you think we can meet?
what about web site?
