It has been about a month since my last status update so I am taking this opportunity to bring everyone up to date on recent developments. Plans for The Cape Dory Owners Rendezvous scheduled for July 17 - 18, at Point Independence Yacht Club in Onset MA, are progressing well. I have had 42 boats confirm that they will be attending, and another 23 have indicated interested.
The club has reserved 25 moorings and several slip for our group. They permit up to 3 boats rafting together on each mooring (space provided). The mooring fee is $15.00 per night with no additional charge for rafting. An area for additional anchorage is available if needed. The slip fee is $1.00 per foot with an additional charge ($5-$10) if you desire electricity/water hook-up.
PIYC will be providing me with the use of their launch during our social events (Breakfast and Dinner) to reduce the congestion at the tender dock. PIYC shall also be providing a cash bar Saturday evening.
I am actively discussing the breakfast and dinner arrangements with several local caterers and anticipate having a menu and pricing confirmed within the next several weeks.
I am welcoming suggestions for Saturdays sailing agenda, along with ideas for our Motor Cruiser attendees. I would appreciate your comments on activities you have found to be enjoyable at other such events (acceptable for general publication).
A representative from Hood Sails has accepted our invitation to present information on sail maintenance and recent technological developments in sail design/materials. I am waiting to receive a final confirmation from Raytheon Electronics and Universal Diesels.
Looking forward to seeing all of you,
