We're back!
We were alerted that the forums were offline, hence did some investigating
and the problem was a result of the internet web hosting server had moved
everything to another server. Today we also upgraded the forum software to
the newest version. Will be authorizing users to use the forums. Sorry about
that. |

We've
back! Our Sandpiper has been hauled out and is being winterized. This
year has been an interesting one for everyone. We've had some free time and
started to uploaded some new Videos to our
Sandpiper565.com channel on You-Tube. We also created some
play-lists videos on the channel of other Sandpiper Owners. If you have a
video do let us know and do subscribe. Next will updating this website.
The
2019 Sandpiper
Rendezvous video is full of those crusty old salt Sandpiper Pirates with a
few Sea dogs thrown in and includes a Sea Battle at the end. Wished that you
were there. |

Sandpiper 565 Rendezvous Update
If you were wondering if the 2020 Sandpiper
Rendezvous would be held this year, well it's now official, it has been cancelled
due to Covid-19.
This year D'Arcy our Rendezvous
organizer/host had planned our Rendezvous to take place in August on
beautiful Lake Joseph by Lake Muskoka. This area is very pretty and the
location is more central to allow more to attend. Now with the international
boarder being closed we would be missing out on all of our American friends
plus travel restrictions that are asking everyone to remain closer to their
homes.
But
in its place we are asking for Sandpiper Owners during the month of
August to create a "Virtual, Rendezvous - I Sailed
Here". With each crew taking lots of pictures and recording the
details of their sailing trips close to home, so they can be all posted
online here together in a special Rendezvous section to recapture the
excitement that the Rendezvous creates. Just email us all your details. |

Our Congratulations go out to the
Michigan
Sandpiper Boat Crew "Ergie".

We have moved the story from the main page to a new
565 Racing
page. |

Psst! An early rumour...
That the 2019 Sandpiper 565 Rendezvous could be held on the
August 9-12 weekend, and on Lake Mazinaw.
It would become a combined event with the open
Sail Mazinaw sailing
group (any type of sailboat) so other boats eg; CL16, CL14, CL12, and
dinghy's can also attend. For this group the Provincial Bon Echo Campground
is located at the narrows in the middle of the north and south sections of
the lake and is great for those who have no sleeping cockpits, or for those
who wish to stay longer and sail even more. |
