This is one of the best regatta's I have raced in. Lots of boats, and a Great Party and Raffle on Saturday Night. The weather is usually mild (not to hot). East ship Island is really beautiful.

tami,

I'm trying to get the Stiletto over for S2S. Any idea where I can rig and launch? Also I'll be looking for a spot to leave it for a short time before sailing to Fla.

Clayton

You can rig and launch at the 'end' of the road that OSYC is on, at the public launch over there. There's a pretty good-sized parking lot, and three ramps

As far as leaving it... either at OSYC on their dock, or well-anchored right off the beach. If neither are appropriate, we can likely find you something at Point Cadet (you'll pay for that, but they do have transient spots) or maybe something up one of the bayous.

Come on down, it's been awhile since we've seen you in this neck

oooh,

I just thought of something. Chris keifer has 'separated' beach wheels for his Sq. that may well work for you to rig and launch right off the OSYC beach. How much that Stiletto weighs?

I will be there with my A

Wheels!! Good idea, it only weighs about 2500#s (no really I think its too big!)

Later

tami,
Talking with my bride, we're thinking about leaving the Stiletto in Ms probably for a month or so to do some sailing on the gulf and possibly also do Horn Island too. Could it be docked at OS for that time? Who would I talk to? Or I could leave it on the trailer with the mast up. Is there any lines overhead between the docks at the end of the road and the club?

Damn, the logistics with a big boat are killing me!!!!

Thanks,
Clayton

Well, you have a couple options:

I'm sure you can dock it at OSYC. Your membership at LCYC is a reciprocal thing since LCYC is a GYA member club. The only problem with that, is that OSYC's kind of a rough place to dock a boat. You've seen how exposed the OSYC dock is. If you tie it WELL, and fender it WELL, and take chafe precautions, shouldn't be a problem. And we'll be around to check on your boat.

That said...
You can also dock it at Point Cadet (behind the Isle of Capri casino). They'll charge a fee, and I'm not sure how much that is. There are LOTS of liveaboards there, and it's protected, and they have transient dock space. I think the phone is Point Cadet Marina (228) 436-9312. Ask for the harbormaster, that may be the fuel dock phone.

Another free place would be in the bayou by our house. We don't actually have a dock, but there's a cut that is too shallow for powercraft right opposite the house and you could anchor there. We'd be right there to watch it, and we have a dink to get b/forth to your boat.

Come to think, you might could get in at the dockage at Harbor Pointe apartments (228) 875-8801 Call and ask if they have transient dock space.

I don't think that Ocean Springs small craft harbor has any space, transient or not. This next weekend when I see some people who are in there, I'll ask what's the deal.

To answer the other question... no, you can't tow the boat between OSYC and the public launch. And I'd damn sure not leave the boat in the launch parking lot cause it would be broke into for sure.

And Jay doesn't think Keifer's wheels will support your boat, or you could just leave it right on the beach. There is such a thing as wheels for big boats, though - I saw the RC27's wheeled about... ;-)
