Posts: 264 Long Island, NY | I keep my boat on the beach at t he end of my street. I've done it for 10 years with only a few problems. I completely understand your aggravation concerning set-up and break-down. You end up spending more time doing that than sailing. In the town of New Suffolk which borders on cutchogue harbor and leads to great peconic and little peconic bay has available mast up storage. This location has the added benefit of allowing you to participate in the weekly wednesday night races around Robins Island. There can be as many as 40 monoslugs out for this informal race. There are a few cats-including Steven Bellavia on his Hobie FX one who will give you a run for your money. This weekly race will also give you good experience in starting in a decent size fleet. The race is about 8 miles (long course) and should take you less than an hour. You will need to contact Michael Raynor who operates the yard there. I think you can reach him at the Mattituck inlet marina at 298-4480. One of our big races out here is on saturday, august 19th. We start from the southold yacht club and race around shelter island. Let me know if you have trouble contacting Michael Raynor.

Posts: 264 Long Island, NY | The location is in the town of New Suffolk that borders on Great Peconic Bay and Cutchogue Harbor. At the end of Long Island at the town of Riverhead the land forks. In between those forks are great peconic, little peconic and gardiners bay among others. The racing is excellent due to the various currents, wind shifts and wind shadows. We have the option of setting up windward/leeward races or a variety of distance races. If you keep your boat in New Suffolk you could get in on the weekly race around Robins Island.

Posts: 264 Long Island, NY | I forgot to mention that saturday august 19th we're having our annual race around Shelter Island. The race is run by the Southold Yacht Club and starts off the beach there in Southold Harbor between 10 and 11am. You can set your boat up at the yacht club and launch off the beach. It is approximately 25 miles and incorporates fair and foul currents, wind shadows from various points of land and all points of sail. I'm working on running a time warp distance race the next day so that sailors who come out get to race twice for one setup/breakdown/trailer adventure. Contact me at gildergove@optonline.net if you're interested and would like more details. Greg
