CYC Meeting with Park Board regarding Boat size at Lake Calhoun

Hello Keel Boat Sailors,

Following is a brief update from the 10 February meeting Mike Elson and Steve Woldum had with Park Board Permits Department:


---Sailboat length limit changed to recommendation, wording on the online application will be changed

---Park Board will also suggest that mooring lines to buoys be about 3 feet in length, as longer mooring lines may tend to drag buoy anchor blocks
 

This is the wording from the MPRB web page.


Sailboat Length Recommendation:
Based on the layout of the buoy grid, the MPRB recommends that sailboats stored on Minneapolis lakes be 22 feet or less. Accommodations can be made for boats under 30 feet upon request.

Good luck.
