{Stus-List} What to do, what to do...

Neil,

Since Skaneateles is about 17 miles long with a public launching ramp, something trailerable in the 18' - 22' range would be my suggestion.  That opens up a wide range of places to sail, as all the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario are within 2 hours or so. There's a lot of one-design racing there; the Ligthning Class was designed by Olin Stephens for Skaneateles, and still raced actively. My family had a great time in Oday Day Sailors and Flying Scots.  By the way, the water in Skaneateles is so clean it is used unfiltered for drinking water in Syracuse.

If you prefer bigger boats, both Cayuga and Seneca Lake, each about 30 miles long, have connections to the Erie Canal, (a hinged mast would be nice) which get's you by water to Lake Ontario at Oswego, Lake Erie, Lake Champlain, and through the Hudson River, really anywhere in the world.  The Canal itself is a working museum, great fun in itself.

  Neil,

  What size boat would you recommend for Skaneateles?

  There's great sailing all around Skaneateles, which although landlocked, is a beautiful lake itself.  I grew up in that area, and between the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario, no shortage of places to sail summer or winter.  Before I bought my 35-1 last fall, I looked a few boats in Ithaca, the market is (was?) pretty good there.

  And Chris, those Annapolis 14ner's were a great bunch, weren't they.  Send me an email offline.

    I crewed on a Soling and made the trips back to Annapolis to sail with my brother on his I 14 and Laser 28. I like the Lakes, sailed 14's out of RCYC and QCYC, but I'd take the Chesapeake any day.

    Did you do any water sailing in Rochester?  Where and on what type of boat?

    Actually, that's what I did when I moved from the Magothy River to Rochester, NY in 1983. Still have the DN although I'm back on the Chesapeake.

      I have lived in reach of the Chesapeake Bay area all of my life, but am now looking at relocating as a result of a prolonged job search (following a lay off) to up sate NY (Skaneateles, NY).

      One of the decision I now face is what to do with FoxFire, sell her or move her (Lake Ontario maybe?).

      Is there anyone with experience with the current used boat market or the Finger Lakes region of NY that want to share their experiences/thoughts?
