Steve, it used to be a lot worse in the ‘70s with the old breakwalls. You had to turn east at the end of the shorter eastern breakwall, travel along the shore until you were lined up with a certain house then you could turn out into the lake and pass through a dip in the sand bar. I grew up at CIYC and my dad and brother are past Commodores. My brother had a 33 mk1 with 4’9” shoal draft, most of the time he didn’t have any problems getting in or out.

I bounce off the bottom getting in and out of there with my 27. Nice club and friendly people. Reciprocal privileges with the Port Stanley Sailing Squadron as well. You need a car or a bicycle to get anywhere. :) Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII Port Stanley, ON ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Taillieu via CnC-List <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Rick Taillieu <mailto:rtaill...@eastlink.ca> Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2016 11:47 Subject: Re: Stus-List The boat is sold Stu, I cut it off at 5½’ because I want to keep the boat at Cedar Island Yacht Club in Kingsville and they dredge to about 7 or 8 ft through the sand bar at the mouth of the channel. Leamington is close but you still have to find a place to store the boat for the winter, for a deep draft boat that would mean going up to Windsor or around Point Pelee to Erieau. A place on Lake St Clair is an option but not really high on my list because there is nowhere to go for a night or two like there is on Erie. I’ve been spoiled, I’ve always kept the boat a 5-10 min drive from home so an hour drive to get to the boat isn’t desirable.

Leamington and Erieau have deeper harbours. Belle River, Bruce River, Puce, South Port Sailing Club, Windsor Yacht Club and Lakeview Park Marina on Lake St. Clair are all deep. None of them too far from Kingsville. We usually camp in Kingsville once a year and are familiar with the area.
