How about a 365 rendezvous in New England waters this summer?
It would appear that there are still a number of Pearson 365's in the New England area. Wouldn't it be great to have a get together somewhere. Has anyone ever organized something like this. They are starting to build Pearsons again ( saw the hull drawings at the Boston boat show a few weeks ago), maybe we can do something in RI.
Now is the time to plan this type of event, as we start to think about unwrapping our frozen boats.
let's start a discussion.
I'd look forward to that.
Depending on the time of year, Newport might be a good option.
Windrider is located in Branford CT.

Newport RI, Block Island, or Cuttyhunk are great suggestions for south of Cape Cod. I'll be located in Weymouth MA (south shore of Boston Harbor), so they all work for me. If you want to go a little more north, Salem makes a good rendezvous point. With a little prior planning (calling marinas/yacht clubs, collecting entry fees, hiring a race committee) you could turn it into a regatta. A lot of fun, but a fair amount of work too. If Pearson is seriously trying to come back, they might be interested in helping.
As for Pearson, they've been building boats since just after they went under.
I believe all of them have been power boats.
They had an office in Newport, and offered to do "custom" designs some years ago.

If we left Morro Bay this week we might be able to make it through the canal and up the east coast in time.... ;D
Can we start a list of home ports and desired sailing distances? I have S/V SOLSTICE (#384) and hail from Boston (Old Colony Yacht club in Dorchester). Anything a couple of days sail up and down the cost works for me. We might even be able to host something at OCYC.
