[C320-list] East Coast Catalina Rendezvous

[Allan Field]

Bruce - What I heard about the Baltimore East Coast Rendezvous of last year
was uninteresting speakers, too many gaps in the schedule, unfriendly
location, and marginal value for the cost.  This is a compilation from
several sources.  You are the first person I have heard who enjoyed the
show! - Allan

Paul, 

You are confusing the East Coast Catalina Rendezvous with the Annual
Catalina 320 International Association (C320IA) Regatta. 

The C320IA Regatta is run by the C320 International Association, is held in
a different part of the country each year and, in fact, was coordinated by
Joe Revak in Baltimore in (I believe) 2003. (Marina del Rey in 2004, Newport
in 2005).  The East Coast Rendezvous is run by Catalina Yachts and was held
in a marina in Inner Harbor 2 years ago.  We attended both Baltimore events,
both were great and we had a terrific time.  In 2005 the C320IA Regatta AND
the East Coast Rendezvous were held in Newport at the same time.  This year
the C320IA Regatta is being held in San Diego in September, is being
coordinated by Dick Walker and we and a few others from the Baltimore are
attending.  You should join us!

Rod, 

I would be curious to hear what complaints you heard about the East Coast
Rendezvous in Baltimore.  We attended with a couple of other 320's and had a
terrific time.  We're thinking of attending again this year.
