Sandpiper Rendezvous 2007 Rosseau Raid Location: Lake Rosseau, Ontario Canada Date: Friday-Monday, August3th-6th, 2007
Welcome Everyone who has taken part in a Sandpiper Rendezvous so far has acclaimed it as a fantastic event and an experience not to be missed. Rendezvous 2007, Rosseau Raid is based on a Scottish 'Raid' or expedition for boats powered by sail. It takes place on Lake Rosseau in early August. The event is a Raid or expedition and moving festival for small sailboats. What to Expect: a) Saturday: A 20 mile cruise including overnight anchorage, to exploit the Sandpipers cruising capabilities. b) Sunday: Distance cruise races, strictly for fun, Rosseau Raid aims to provide an opportunity for relaxed sailing in small boats and to encourage the use and development of such boats for cruising, racing and 'expedition making'. It is an informal weekend enjoying good fun sailing together, safely, courteously, while exchanging ideas and learning more about various aspects of our intrepid pocket cruisers. In addition, the event provides a unique sample of Muskoka Summer culture. Where else will you see crystal clear water, spectacular granite shorelines, wind blown pines, and classic cottage architecture? Sandpiper S565 sailors of all levels of ability and experience and of all ages are invited. Rosseau Raid is for anyone with a spirit of adventure and a desire to have a good time in small boats. Because of interest already indicated, CL sailboats are also welcome. The base will be the Village of Rosseau Municipal Dock.
