John, Not to speak for the group, but I think one of the more fun aspects of a rendezvous is the dock meet ups and walking around exploring other’s boats — which is kind of lost on moorings or raft-ups.
Port Jeff is a great location, but there’s only one really good marina and they often seem pretty packed with boats — not sure they could group a bunch of C&Cs together. Clinton is a nice place, but it is pretty far east and a little tricky to get into. However, I don’t want to lose the attendance of those coming from places like Eastern CT or MA either. Milford could be a good option, being right in the middle of the Sound. All the best, Edd Edd M.

Might I suggest Pt Jefferson as an alternate? Heard recently of a large Catalina owners gathering there. My Club also just held a raft up party there with 13 boats rafted (anchor not mooring) - great fun. No mall - but many more options than Clinton (I believe) for overnight - anchor, mooring, Club / commercial slips. One option I will explore - but would need approximate boat numbers - is to ask my Club in Southport CT to host - if that would be of interest -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Sep 6, 2014, at 9:58, Andrew Burton via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Peregrine will be there...unless I leave her in Nova Scotia next fall. > > Andrew Burton > 61 W Narragansett > Newport, RI > USA 02840 > > http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ > +401 965-5260 > > On Sep 5, 2014, at 12:25, Edd Schillay via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > >> Listers, >> >> Not to distract from the great event in Newport being put together by >> David Risch and others, I want to give you a heads-up that planning will >> begin soon on the 2015 Northeast C&C Rendezvous. >> >> While the first year was in Mystic, the second on Block Island, and the >> third commencing in two weeks in beautiful Newport, I would like to move the >> event into mid Long Island Sound before attending one could mean going more >> East and having to set our clocks back to attend. >> >> In October, keep an eye out for a survey with questions about dates, >> locations, events and costs. >> >> My initial thoughts would be a summertime rendezvous in a place like >> Clinton CT where there’s plenty of dockage, facilities, a pool, a restaurant >> and a shuttle to shopping (Let’s face it guys, the ladies would much rather >> hit an Outlet Mall than hear us talk about chainplates, sail trim and diesel >> engines.) >> >> See you in Newport! >> >> >> All the best, >> >> Edd >> >> >> Edd M.
