Cape Dory Rendezvous 2001 -- Registration Information

[Catherine Monaghan]

<B>Cape Dory Rendezvous 2001</B>, sponsored by the NE Fleet of the CDSOA Inc., is a <A HREF="http://www.toolworks.com/cdsoa/events.h ... ts">series of events</A> which will take place over three days (17th, 18th and 19th of July) with the grand finale on Thursday evening at Smuggler's Cove near New Harbor, <A HREF="http://www.toolworks.com/cdsoa/NErendez ... tml">Block Island</A>, RI.

First we'll meet around noon on the 17th at Shelter Island, NY. In the morning on the 18th we'll head for the Napatree, RI area as a flotilla. And on the 19th we'll all race to Block Island and end the evening with a barbecued dinner and awards ceremony at Smuggler's Cove.

To participate, please print and complete the <B>Registration Form</B> (<A HREF="http://www.toolworks.com/cdsoa/NErendez ... ezForm.doc"> Microsoft Word</A> or <A HREF="http://www.toolworks.com/cdsoa/NErendez ... ezForm.pdf"> PDF</A> versions) and be sure to indicate how many adult and child meals you'll need for the dinner/barbecue on the 19th. The entry fee for the Rendezvous is <B>$35.00/boat</B> (CDSOA members) or <B>$45.00/boat</B> (non-members) which also includes one Rendezvous 2001 T-shirt per boat. <B>Entries should be received before July 1st</B> otherwise we cannot guarantee a T-shirt.

The entry fees for registration forms mailed <B>after July 1st</B> are <B>$45.00/boat</B> (CDSOA members) or <B>$55.00/boat </B>(non-members).

We realize that some crews prefer to prepare their own meals onboard. So please be sure to indicate on the form that you'll be participating in "Rendezvous Celebration Block Isl." by placing a check in the checkbox provided on the Registration Form and write "None" in the space provided next to "Number of adult meals" and "Number of child meals", that way we'll know not to expect you for dinner or the awards ceremony.

The fees for dinner at Smuggler's Cove are <B>$38.00/adult</B> and <B>$19.00/child</B> 10 years of age or less.

If you'd like to purchase additional T-shirts for your crew, they're <B>$15.00 each</B>.

And all participants are invited to stay an extra day at Block Island, July 20th to get to know the other CD owners and their boats.
