Lets plan an event.

I'm in Westbrook, we have a great spot called Duck Island where we could get a big raft together.

I just got a 15 sport and plan to have it in in a few weeks.

I can also offer free dockage for about 3 or 4 boats.

Lets plan something.

Anyone??????

Hello - I'm in CT and while I live in North Central CT, I trailer down to the shore and travel all over the state/sound. I have an old Montauk, 1978. Updated engine (slightly), electronics and rigging but otherwise very original. Let me know if you set something up. I'd be interested in connecting with Whaler owners in the area.

Lets do it, pick a date!!!

Anyone else??? Post up. There has to be more CT Whalers out there, no???

I'm serious about the free dockage for the event.

Lets get a big turn out.

Bump for whaler fun......... :-)

I am in Connecticut. Do alittle boating in the Sound. Not real big on the 'rafting' scene, kinda like to go places.

i dont know if its too late to set this up. but me and one of my buddies each have our own 13' whalers and we could stop in. were located in essex so it wouldnt take long to get to westbrook

I can see duck island from where I live. Great place for a meet. Check the forecast for the 13 Whalers from Essex.

Hello from Texas! I don't live there now, but Ct is where i grew up, Cromwell to be exact. I will be up visiting my family the 8th - 14 of May, so if your weekend happens to be the same, my brother has a boat (sorry not a Whaler, but there has to be the uneducated to e expected) and we could possibly drop in. If my memory serves me correctly, duck island is a little bit shy of the mouth of the CT river correct? Spent many a weekend on watch hill after trailering our boat to Groton as part of the Outboard Assoc when i was a little guy some 40 years ago! Again, wasn't a Whaler, but an old Thompson.

Scrimshaw, maybe we can finally meet! :)

Hi I'm in the Clinton Harbor area and have a new (to me) 1962 13 footer. I'll be buzzing around Duck and that general area all summer. Let me know when the meet-up is...that's my usual stomping ground, can't wait for summer!

I'm up in New London with my 13ft / 40hp . Be a long haul for me by water but might be able to trailer down, depending on the date. I'll be in the water 3rd week of march most likely

Lets do it!!! We need to come up with a date.

I'm a teacher so I'm better for July and August when I'm off and the fishing is slow.

What say the CT Whalers?? Suggestions?

I'm next to New Haven, What boat launch would you suggest using for this? I agree with July/ Aug.

Post a date and I'll pull East.

Peir 76 in Westbrook is right in town.

http://www.pier76.com/

Matter of fact, you can see Duck Island in the upper right side of the aerial photo on their home page, my dock is right up the river from pier 76 and I could probably put 4 more whalers on there, if we raft them, for a few days if need be. For a small beer donation of course. :-)

You can see pictures of my dock on my personal page.

July 4 is on a sunday, so that gives weekend dates of 10,11 or 17,18 or 24,25. Come August I am gearing up for Tuna so I would say last few weeks of July some time.

Do we want to do this during the week?? It would be less crowded but I think more would be able to attend on the weekend.

What do you guys think??

Anyone got suggestions for a date or should I just pick one and go with it????

Pick from the July ones I listed.

TechTeach, on the left side of the page, to go "Discussion areas", then scroll down to "Rendezvous central" and then hit the "New Thread" button.....it should be self explanatory from there.

This is a heads up....

This thread is over a year old...
This is not for 2011 but instead, July of 2010....

If you want a 2011 rendezvous, you might want to start a completely new thread.
