Hi, Heckscher State Park is one of the many waterfront parks on Long Island owned and managed by New York State. Many years ago (the 70's), Hobie fleet 143 petitioned to have field 7 of this park (on the perfect, windiest, widest and deepest spot of the Great South Bay) for sailors ONLY - no swimmers - no picnicers - etc. After that the windsurfers also shared this field. There used to be 10 to 20 cats per weekend throughout the summer, always a handful on weekdays and some regattas with over 300 boats (see other posts on this forum). Now it is slowly becoming a ghost town. I fear that if we do not continue to use it, we may lose it.
Would you be interested in taking a drive from Connecticut if we hosted a quality event?
