Rich,
I would be going back that way and would be able to
give her a ride. I just havent made up my mind whether
to go or not.
May be a few days before I can work out all the
details.

Well, the Champlain ferry is in NY, at least at one
end. The other end is in VT, another expensive
state. The one hour trip is $17.50 for car and
driver. I’ve taken it many times.My wife and daughter are negotiating when and where
they will meet me. I think they might take two cars
to New London and leave one there. Is there parking
at the ferry dock? The reason they may take two
cars is that my wife wants to leave on Saturday and
drive to her summer camp in the Adirondacks. My
daughter wants to stay with me and go home on Sunday
afternoon or Monday morning. If things work out
this way, will anyone be able to give her a ride to
Orient Point or is there a bus?—

Anything I should know about?…
I am planning on making reservations. That should be
good enough right to get there on time…..?

5 hours.

ok good directions thanks
I am coming from the West…. but it does appear to be
easier to come from New London to Orient Point.
Rich, I may take you up on the offer for Saturday
night.
Although if S.O. wants to come there might be an
issue.

London, take these

try the Bridgeport Ferry.
Trouble with Bridgeport is Port Jeff destination is
not as close to E
Hampton.Coming down from New England the best way is the New
London Ferry to
Orient Point. Then drive west on the north fork of
long island
to Riverhead. Head South, then East on Route 27 all
the out the
south fork to East Hampton. Note that while the
marina is in East Hampton,
we are several miles north of route 27 which goes
through the main drag of
East Hampton. Go through the village of EH and
keep left at
the end of the village. When you pass the movie
theater on the right get
ready to bear left just before the windmill and turn
onto North Main Street.
Cross under the RR Bridge. Continue until the road
splits and stay to the
left–where there is a sign indicating Three Mile
Harbor Road. Take this
road up several miles to the head of the harbor.
Then start looking for
signs for East Ha,pton Point. Our marina, Maidstone
HArbor, is immediatelyl
north of EHP. There is an in driveway for EHP then
an out driveway and then
the entrance to Maidstone Harbor Marina. The
restaurant for our marina is
called Harbor Bistro and is visible from the road.
Pull into the parking
lot and you’re there. All you need to do then is
call for a pick up from
the raft group.Again, address of Maidstone Marina is 313 Three Mile
Harbor Rd., East
Hampton, NY

Adam, I have a ketch but not the 110/120 lapper. I use
a 140.
All boats will sheet a little different depending on
the tension on the rig. Car position will depend on
the point of sail.
But one of the issues with the 424, is that the track
is too far outboard. So, even if you set the car
position by watching on the flies break (to break
evenly), you may not get the leach to stop flopping.
I am sure that doesn’t answer your question.

Rich,
Thanks for the offer. I am still not sure if we’ll be
able to drive down. Kodak offered a voluntary
separation program this week, and it looks like I
might be retired by August 1st. if I decide to take
it. So plans right now are up in the air.
Anyone need a retired Electrical Technician for hired
crew?

I may have room on my boat if you can find a place

and possibly daughter may drive down on Friday and
stay the evening, but there should be room on the
settee.Rodd
What about parking? If my wife drives down, is
there someplace to park?—

Without making things complicated or imposing on
anyone , what kind of arrangements could someone make
that cannot bring the boat?
I was thinking of driving to Conn., taking the ferry
and meeting up.
I haven’t seen any nearby hotels. I thought I saw
someone else on here that was doing the same thing.

Quote:Rich (and the Group:)Sounds like you’ll be the first on scene and will
drop that big boy in 12 ft. ! Everyone will then
raft up and we’ll keep an eye on the wx. Try and
anchor to the north (and just west of the mooring
field) after you turn west so we’ll be closer to
the Marina and beach. Don’t turn until you hit buoy
“22”.I have confirmed with my Marina that we have an area
available to us for dinner and BBQ. I am awaiting
dinghy dock info. There is a nice beach just to the
east as you enter the breakwater where we can all
gather for lunch if we so desire.Again I want to remind the group to bring provisions
with you!! There are no grocery stores at the
harbor. If necessary I could always drive to a
nearby market, but I’d prefer not to have to. There
is ice available from my marina and the others.After our BBQ we can certainly go into the nearby
restaurant and hang at the bar for those that wish
to, or return to the anchorage.As for discussions we certainly have no lack of
material, what with our boats being as old as they
are! It will be great to see what everyone has
done.Rodd

Nice Job, thanks

there’s no FAQ on who made your sails and if you’re
happy with them. I was going to send out an email
asking that but I figured it was better in the form
of a survey.http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/55477/pearson-424-sail-inventory
If you don’t mind filling it out, it would help all
of us newbies out a lot! I’ll send out the results
and put them in a format Pat can post to the web
site too.
The basic format is for each common kind of sail
(Main, Working Jib, Mizzen, Staysail, Mizzen
Staysail, Spinnaker) Who Made, Out of What, When Did
you Get it, Comments. If there’s something about
that sail I didn’t ask you (like battens for
instance) then put it in the comments I’ll pull all
that out later.Thanks in advance or feel free to tell me this is
annoying. J

These are the winches that are on the mast? I seem to
remember that there is a left hand thread involved
here. I just can’t remember which part. I had mine
apart last year. Sucks to get old…..

A year ago, when I broke the mizzen sail track gate. I
simply faxed RigRite a sketch of the part I needed.
They called back a day later said they had the part. I
had it in week. I know not very high tech but, they do
stock a lot of Pearson parts.

Well, they do have a phone and they do have email.
They don’t use them for
incoming communications. They’re really not that
organized, I don’t think.
Also, RigRite has been in business since the ’60’s
or so and their way of
doing business isn’t the modern way, as you could so
readily surmise.But – and it’s a big one – they have stuff no one
else has. And if you want
to deal with them, you just play the game. If not,
break out the resin,
hardener and thickener and go to town!Bob
