On another thread, I answered to a query:"There used to be a rendezvous annually hosted by H&S which shut down a few years ago. It was at Isthmus in Catalina and at one time got 50-ish boats. Sailboats Unlimited had one last year in Marina del Rey. Those are pretty expensive for a broker to run and I can't see Hunter stepping up to subsidize them given today's economy. This was originally run by a couple of owners when it started but became too much for them to handle. Maybe we can start from the ground again. I'll give it some thought."
So, is there interest in an informal rendezvous of Hunters this year? Let's see what we get by way of responses.
1. Mid September weekend after most of the busy stuff?
2. No heavy lifting. BYOB, pot luck, etc.
3. No charge except for maybe a site rental?
4. Maybe in Catalina's Cat Harbor for mooring availability & anchoring ease?
Other location options might be:
A. Anchoring behind oil island White in front of the Long Beach Belmont Pier. There is a new dinghy dock at the pier and we could do dinghy raft ups for food & drink.
B. Hen Rock, Catalina Island, near Long Point. This would be similar to option A. Some moorings and good holding for anchoring. I didn't list the Isthmus due to mooring availability, etc.
C. Newport Beach anchorage. The complication here is someone has to be on the boat, but I imagine a dinghy raft up in the anchorage would comply with the spirit of the regulation.
D. Other?
5. Don't count on swag, speakers, etc. Might get some if enough participation, but wouldn't want to complicate this unsponsored event.
So, what do you think?
