Get in touch with Salty19, our Fleet Admiral, he can set up your payment schedule for your initiation fees.
Pictures would be great.
I have always wanted to get down to Kentucky Lake. It is a reasonable distance from where I am in Wisconsin.

Welcome !!!!
Welcome Kentucky Lake!! You sound like a nice guy so because I'm also a nice guy (my opinion) I'm gonna waive the normal $5000.00 membership fee if you tell us your actual name!!! Welcome aboard!!!

I first learned to sail on Kentucky Lake, at Roy C. Manchester Boy Scout camp. Many fond memories of Kentucky Lake.
Now I wish I could sail as much as I can visit this site.

Truly this is a cult and a mighty fine one at that. The folks here are the best as is your boat. We learned to sail on one and now have another, truly the boat that started all of this.
Welcome indeed!
Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I'm amazed at all the interest in kentucky lake. I love this area and have been sailing here now for five years, met a few friends along the way and even a few enimies, rude fishermen.
In light of the generous offer to wave my very respnablr membership fees I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Edward Hubbard i fell in love with sailing about 5 years ago. I'm 37 and I've owned a mac 21, hunter 25, Yflyer, and now my most favorite boat ever the com-pac 16 which is the perfect boat for kentucky lake. Last fall i sailed my 25 down the tenn tom to Perdido bay and into the gulf. I plan to take my 16 on the same trip this fall. Thanks again.

Got the photo to work.!! Thats mine and my friend Bobs com pac 16s side by side last week. Mine is the white one.
Welcome Edward! The TennTom trip is a good plan because as long as you stay below the Mason Dixon line you are relatively safe from Bob's "Family". And should you do that, you should keep me up to date on your itinerary, I'll be glad to buy you a beer as you pass through Bay Springs Lake. As you know you will need such a treat after traveling down divide cut (boring). I keep my 23 at Bay Springs Marina which is just north of the Jamie Whitten lock and dam. You might add a day to sail the lake, it is a beautiful, undeveloped lake, although somewhat small compared to Kentucky Lake.
Have considered towing up to Kentucky Lake a few times but have never put the trip together. Also thought about just renting a cabin at Lighthouse Landing and renting a Colgate there for my sailing fix.
im thinking that those two sweet 16s would fit in nicely at the clr and while im at it viperman could make a trip south while you guys are headed north.

Thanks. I'll do that. I stopped in Bay Springs last November for gas. Beautiful lake you have there. The marina owner and his wife were very nice. I'll definitely look for you next time around. And drop me a line when your at kentucky lake. Im sure i could put you on a boat.
I'm impressed you're going to take your CP-16 all the way to the Gulf from Kentucky Lake! How long do you expect that will take?
Great to have you on here, Ed!
As I had welcomed you via a message, let me just say thanks for the heads up on the campgrounds at Kentucky Lake.

Hi and welcome Ed!
I too am pretty new here- I think you welcomed me last week as I posted a pic of my shakedown sail on my new-to-me Com Pac 16 ll. These are GREAT boats! Love the idea of sailing as many of the northern New England lakes as my life will allow! Like most here, have had a variety of boats, but had I started with the Com-Pac 16, I might have been a one boat sailor! Looking forward to hearing your adventures and advice
