The day the "Excessive" was sold - Friday September 3th 2010

The new owners of the Excessive at Lake Calhoun.

Dear Keelboaters,

Please meet Dan and Sonia the new proud owners of the the "Excessive" .

Wenona and Henk wish them great rides and fair winds and we hope that you will be as helpful with them as you all have been with us over the  years.

Good Luck and many thanks.

Wenona and Henk's return to Holland

Dear CYC members and Keelboat friends,

With pain in our hearts Wenona and I have decided to return to go back to the Netherlands by the end of September to join our families. The years living in Saint Louis Park was great and over time we had contact with lots of people at Lake Calhoun , the CYC members, the Keelboat Fleet, the Calhoun Sailing School and the Basic Keelboat Sailing students…..we will miss you all.

I hope that the efforts by the CYC regarding Keel Boat racing will continue and will keep the Fleet together for many years to come.

Unfortunately we can not take our MacGregor 26S with us so we will have to sell her before we leave as well as the North Star Basic Keelboat Sailing School who really took off this season. http://www,northstarsailing.com/

Iif you know any interested people please let us know.

We are sure we will meet you all before we hit the trail back to Europe at the dock or when sailing our Lake Calhoun.

Love

Wenona and Henk

CYC Keelboat Race cancelation August 21

There is no CYC Keelboat race on August 21st.


The lake will be overrun with kids, up to 50 or more boats.

There will be two race courses set up so I'm hopeful that the wind direction will be OK so the courses are separate.

There will be opportunities for driving a crash boat (spectating).

Others may certainly use the lake but dock space will be limited to nonexistent.

Next Keelboat Race Saturday August 14 - 11pm

Hello Keelboaters,

It has been a long time we had a race with the whole fleet, we hope you can make it next Saturday.

Start will be at 11 pm and there will be tender transport to your boats from 10:30 pm.

Later that day starting at 5pm there will be an After Sail Party at Rich residence. ( see posting below).

Till Saturday.

Faster than the wind, dead downwind!

Lots of debate foments on this, but I believe I understand now that this can and does work!
