I have been reading the posts for a rendezvous on Lake Ontario and it has
brought back a lot of memories. I worked with the National Yacht Club in
running the regatta. The first couple of years we had close to over 125
yachts. But it dropped to less than 80 and finally it stopped.
It was a regatta and was basically race orientated. We had a few boats that
were in what we called the cruiser division and had our own on-the-water
activities.
During the same period of time, we had a group called the Great Lakes Owners
Association and we would meet during the winter for a healthy meal and lots of
socializing. People drove from all over to attend and we could always count on
George and Helen being there.
Another year we held a rendezvous in Bayfield, Ontario on Lake Huron and had
about 6 boats plus a couple of drive-ins.
Those were the days.
I don’t think people want to travel any distance to race a new fleet of boats
in a regatta. Instead, they would probably entertain the idea of going to a
dockage where they can socialize, swap stories, show off their boats and if
there is time, visit one of the local hotspots. I belong to an RV group now
and our attendance is really high for a 4 nite social campout. Whereas a large
event with a schedule does not get the attendance needed.
There are quite a few clubs in the Toronto (GTA) and probably have 15-20
transients sites and would be willing to host an event. I am sure there are
still a lot of C&C’s in the area that would sail there and quite a few more
that would drive to the event. I can almost guarantee it that Gladys and I
would be there to show off our (land) yacht.
A social event does take a bit planning but it is nowhere near the same as a
regatta.
If you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.

There was talk this past year of having the regatta at the national again along
with another regatta . It was mainly race related . I would be interested in
helping organize the event . As one of the original ten from Stu’s list . It
would be great to get together again

Hello everyone,
Just checking in to see if there is any interest in a 2020 regatta on the
north shore of Lake Ontario? I know the National used to hold the regatta and
it died for various reasons, but it would be great if we could have something
on the lake where it all began.

All right folks,
With the 2019 Rendezvous only slightly in the rear view mirror, we're already
seeing quite a bit of discussion regarding next year. I'll take that as an
indication of the success of this year's event!
Additionally, we are already discussing a location for 2021! It tentatively
looks like Solomons for 2021. Dates TBD.
As for 2020: We are REQUESTING input on locations and dates.
a.. Weekend dates we are in the early stages of considering are the last
weekend of Sept and the first weekend of Oct. (Sept 25, 26,27 and Oct 2, 3, 4)
b.. Previous year's polls have indicated that the highest number of people
were interested in locations on the Chesapeake Bay between Annapolis and
Solomons. Outliers both further North and South voted but not in sufficiently
high numbers to warrant an immediate venue consideration.
c.. I also say that those who attend most in the past get priority vote for
future events. As such - Rainy Days, La Neige, Coquina, Crazy Legs, Der
Barron, Sea Hawk, SEA YA !, and Ciothog - your input is absolutely requested.
d.. A lot of spirit has been generated around Baltimore's Anchorage Marina.
All thoughts, inputs, votes, considerations, etc. are more than welcome.
Please! I'm begging! I'll re-poll shortly but without input we'll have to
just make executive decisions. I say it again and again, "This isn't my event,
it is ours. If no one attends then the event is a failure of efforts. I want
it to be whatever, where ever, and whenever is best for the largest number of
interested people."
All the best,
Josh Muckley
