Anyone here a member? They're having their annual meeting in Mystic on Feb 2. From the website, it looks to be in the nature of a classic EBS. With music.

[S.V. Airlie]

Thanks Hugh. It's interesting. They have a website but no phone #. I'll be there.. Heck, I'm already here, what the heck am I talking about?:rolleyes:

[Paul Pless]

Will they be holding it aboard Airlie?

[S.V. Airlie]

Paul,the association doesn't know I even exist. I'll join at the meeting..:D

[Hughman]

These folks had a booth at the Maine Boatbuilders Show last year. I think they ought to be better known.

I agree Hugh.. It is interesting that the organization is not better known. Then again, although I suspect there are reasons for this, the organization does not even have a phone number. Almost as though it is a one man organization.
I'll know more after the second as I am planning on going/crashing..

That's the same weekend the Catboat Association is having it's annual meeting at the Mystic Marriot. There is always a nice display room with boats and such:

9 a.m. – 5 p.m. All Catboat Resource Show - This year’s displays will flow between the Marriott Ballroom Salons ABC and the Mystic Ballroom Salons DEF. As usual we will have a fantastic group of catboat enthusiasts displaying and selling everything from anchors to artwork and more.

Sounds like a great opportunity for a guild riot! :D

I wonder if Ian is going to that..?

I'm imagining 'ballroom salons' flooded with two feet of water. Sailors in their catboats of all stripes sailing around and luffing up alongside display tables set like sandbars to look at displays of wares....:D

Well, in that case, Ian will most certainly be there...:D;)

Needless to say, sounds more exciting than what I see is gonna be going on at the Schooner Assoc. meeting... Umm, "please read the minutes..."

I sense a rumble in the making!

[S.V. Airlie]

No, no rumble. I'll just pop into the schooner association meeting, look around, listen to the minutes and then crash the catboat association meeting and ask for a membership application...
I'll try to disguise Airlie...

[Hughman]

Jamie, the WBF mole......

[T.A.R.]

How do you know there aren't ASA moles:). I'm going to try and be there as it is always a good time. Interesting talks and people etc...

[sv Lorelei]

No. No. Not at all!

Don't think that disguise will work. Worth a try...

[S/V Laura Ellen]

You know you have a really pretty boat when it also looks good cat rigged.:D

[S.V. Airlie]

rigged as above is interesting but I sense she would not sail worth a damn...:rolleyes::eek:

[elf]

I wonder if Ian is going to that..?

Ian always goes. Party Time :D:D:D

I've gone the last three times, but now it's too far away. Don't make enough to justify the driving and place to stay costs.

No. No. Not at all!

If you clean up the mess you made in the sky, and make the horizon horizontal I think it will do just fine! :D:D:Dhttp://www.landsedgephoto.com/Airlie_Cat.jpg

Umm, so much for going unnoticed even if I go disguised.. Ian will umm give me away....:eek::eek:
