Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | Hello everyone. My name is Karl Brogger, a few of us are re-activating an old fleet number in Mn, and using Lake Pepin, (on the Mississippi), as our home lake. The club has a regatta on the schedule for June 9/10 with D7. We have a few club events on the calender as well. Membership does not require the owning of a Hobie, (The regatta does), but is open to any owners of a beach cat. If any one is interested in joining feel free to give me a call at: 507.301.9019. Thanks, Karl

Posts: 493 Minnesota | Now you've made me feel guilty.
I consider myself exclusively a recreational sailor, but I always feel I'm letting down the sport when I ignore the local regattas. What can I say? -I just don't feel the need to display my testosterone. Tim Johnson tried twisting my arm a few times, to attend the Bald Eagle Fleet regattas, but I just never did.
I just seem to get a different thrill from sailing. I LIKE the speed, but not the race. Its the experiencing of the wind and weather, and the spray of water that thrills me. But even a gentle and steady breeze is a wonderful feeling. The most awe inspiring sails I've had, are the warm breezes on nights under a full moon. When doing this, the search for enlightment by Tibetan monks, pales in comparison.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | Lake Pepin is in between Wabasha, and Red Wing on the Mississippi River. To those of you not interested in the racing aspect of being a member of a fleet we have a number of fun sails planned for the year. A warm up, knock the cobwebs and dust off the boat event May 19th. July 21st a "distance cruise" up to the north end of Lake Pepin, (14 miles). And August 24th-26th, a rally at the Apostle Islands. So the fleet isn't built around racing. I race every chance I get, but many aren't as apt to do so. It isn't for every one. I would have to check for sure, I believe we were planning a year membership to be around $25
