Oct. 4 thru 6: Summerset Regatta
What a great weekend with fantastic weather and a terrific turnout for the 54th annual Summerset Regatta! 53 boats participated, either racing or cruising throughout the weekend of October 4-6. Hundreds of sailors celebrated together at the Friday Captain’s Party at Bonita Bill’s, the Saturday Cocktail Party at Nauti Parrot and the Sunday Awards Banquet […]

Sept. 15: Kayusa Cup
Here are the results from this weekend’s race. Thanks to all participants. We originally had 11 boats signed up but the wether was a little light on the wind component! But eventually the wind came around. I scored everyone in one class as this is a fun race and there was not enough boats […]

Most Memorable Regatta – Part I
CMCS had five member boats out of the fleet of eleven that participated in the “Most Memorable Regatta” overnight race to Tampa Bay. Included in the fleet were “faster” boats including a Swan 53 and a Corsair trimaran, both of who beat Windy City on elapsed time, but Windy City won the whole race after […]

We had a great time at Burnt Store Marina over Easter. There were seven boats on our three day tour. Blown Away, Bridget O’Toole, Buffy, Chase the Clouds, Foxy Lady, Lazy Susan, and Ranger all joined in the festivities over the weekend. Normally we start out at Pelican Bay for our Easter cruise but kudos […]

April 8: Panther Key Cruise
Five hardy crews ventured down to this favorite CMCS rendezvous in the heart of the 10,000 Islands. Five boats made it to this semi-remote area. We can not call it a truly remote area because we still have one tick on our cell phones. The stalwart vessels were Bridget O’Tool, Freestyle, Lazy Susan, Samphire, and […]

Mar 24, 2019: Rum & Reading Cruise
I am absolutely going to claim credit for the weather! Clearly insuring sunny skies and fair breezes is the Cruise leader’s responsibility. A number of boats actually sailed a good part of the way. At anchor Friday were Bridgett O’Toole; Chase the Clouds; Rum Daze; Blown Away; Trust Me!!!; Jolly Mon; Gopher Baroque; Ranger; […]

Mar. 18, 2019: Pelican Bay Cruise
We had a surprisingly low turn-out for what is usually a popular cruise. Only nine boats participated. This can possibly be blamed on the forecast of poor weather. But, we actually experienced fairly good weather. In fact, we did not experience wind on the nose either going nor returning from Pelican Bay. This seems to […]

Apr. 6, 2019: 12th Annual Cruiser’s Appreciation Day

Feb. 16, 2019: Winter Series Regatta #4
Everyone was scored as one class as we only had six boats racing. You can easily see the results by class if you choose. But still a great day on the water. We ended up running four races with a nice tight course.

February 9, 2019: Commodore’s Cup (Winter Series Regatta #3)
What a great day on the water! Races were fun, competitive and at times, plenty of wind. And then the after party. I just feel sorry for all the people that didn’t come. Beer, Wings, Shrimp. And then lots of great conversation! The official results are as follows and the details are attached. Help the […]
