John Decker and Jim Lovett coming in after a day on the water. The Hampton Beach regatta is Father's Day weekend and is the same weekend as the sand castle competition. There is plenty to do around the beach if you are not with the sailors on the water. Check out the website for the 2009 Schedule and contact information.
Spring Planning meeting minutes0 commentsMarch 28, 2009 Our spring planning meeting was held at the Hackett's. It was also a goodbye party for Jane and Al as they leave this week for Florida. In attendance were the Hacketts, Johnsons, Deckers, Reynolds, Helmars including Alex, Fleurys, Jim L, Dave F, Scott M and Hugh F. We discussed the fleet equipment condition and location. Jim and Dee will take a good look at the flags to see what can be repaired and what needs to be replaced. Equipment currently at Johnson’s will be picked up, inventoried and moved to Jim’s until it is needed at Hampton Beach. The next discussion was regarding the Sebago events and if they should be fun sails or races. There was much discussion about how many race events we should host. It was decided the first two Sebagos would be races with Helmars and Flureys being race committee and the third a fun sail. The race schedule was next up again with much discussion about possible conflicting dates. We have some members that travel to other fleets events and some that only do our events. How much effort goes into hosting events was brought up and if we should continue both Pine Point and Hampton events. The lack of camping was discussed regarding these events.

History
C.R.A.N.N.E. came together in 1998 when Hobie Fleet 209 and Prindle Fleet 80, a mixed catamaran fleet from all over northern New England merged. A new fleet name was established to represent this truly mixed fleet of beach catamarans sailing enthusiasts.
We are a family friendly group and have several events that the fleet for both the recreational sailor as well as competitive sailor. During the summer months we hold events at Sebago Lake State park in Casco ME. These events are great family orientated events that include tent camping as well as wonderful fresh water sailing. At night we kick back by the campfire and tell tales of great sailing while roasting marshmallows for s’mores. C.R.A.N.N.E. volunteers staff the Pine Point-Old Orchard Beach regatta held in Scarborough ME each August. We also have a "Homeport" regatta which is hosted at the home of one of our fleet members at Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes ME. We race during the day then come back in and have a summer New England lobster feast. Due to the space and financial reasons, we reserve this regatta to fleet members only. Anyone interested in beach catamaran sailing in New England are encouraged to join us.
