Com-Pac Sailing Day at Jordan Lake

[joe16]

As I recall, there are a few Com-Pac owners in the NC area and I'm wondering if there's any interest in a Com-Pac gathering at Jordan Lake in September. I was thinking of an all day gathering, maybe on the 16th, 23rd, 29th, or 30th.  Planning on launching from Vista Point.

My thought is to pick a primary day and a backup just in case of poor weather on the primary day. And who knows, we might get two sailing days out of it.

So, any takers?  If you're interested and have an opinion, let me know.

Hi Joe - that's a great idea, and I'm definitely in. I live nearby in Durham and often sail out of Vista Point. Will look forward to more details as they develop.

I am interested as well, although my boat is currently being repaired. I should be back in action by mid-September or so. I live in Raleigh and Jordan is where I normally sail.

I'm leaning toward the 29th here. A Saturday seems like the best choice.

I'll put together a loose schedule for the day. I'm open for input as well.

Sounds like fun, I should be able to make it.

29th sounds great.  I am a new SunCat owner and look forward to it.  Just let me know the details.  I live in Greensboro

The 29th should work for me.

Mark - does this mean you'll have your boat back from Keith's shop?

[MHardy]

I hope so. If not, I'll sign up to be your First Mate!

Today was by far the best sailing on Jordan since before this hot, miserable summer began. You could not have asked for a nicer day - sunny, 75 degrees, winds steady at 8-10 knots. It's true the powerboats and jetskis were still pretty thick on the ground, but the beautiful weather put me in a forgiving mood. By the 29th they will have thinned out a little more. If this weather holds we'll have a great time.

Sounds like a great day. Looking forward to the 29th. Hopefully the weather will hold.

Hello,

I live in Kinston and recently purchased a Compac 19. I am interested in meeting on September 29th and splashing the boat for the first time. Looking forward to further details on meeting up.

Serious family illness.  Hopefully all will be well soon. 
I won't be able to make it this time but look forward to future happenings.
Have fun and be safe!

I've been working under the assumption that everyone is familiar with Vista Point. In case anyone isn't, park info can be found at:

I'm thinking arrive early and set sail by mid-morning or so. My target is to hit the water between 9 and 10, but you all know how that can get delayed unexpectedly.  Break for lunch back at Vista around noon then an afternoon of sailing.  It's all quite informal as you might expect, so feel free to show up when you can.

Wind forcast looks light to moderate with a chance of rain. Of course, that was a 0% chance this morning and likely to change 14 times or more between now and next Saturday.

Hi Joe - thanks again for taking the lead on this. I'm really looking forward to it. Wondering how coming back to Vista Point for lunch will work - how will we tie up? I don't think we're allowed to dock our boats at the finger docks next to the ramp except when launching/retrieving. I know there's a beach area around the corner where the dinghies and daysailers launch, but I'd have to tie up my 19 to something and wade or swim ashore. I am hoping you have a brilliant solution for this.....

Anything I can do to help organize?
