Lake Pleasant, AZ Winter Messabout - February 15 Thru February 17, 2019

&nbsp;

Any and all small sail powered craft are welcome – Potter, Montogomery, Sage, Compact, Welsford designs, Oughtred designs, CLC designs, self designed, ect – basically every one

&nbsp;

Average daytime highs are 70 degrees and lows of around 48, lots of Sunshine. Come and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow small boaters and plenty of sunshine.

&nbsp;

Camping on the shore with room for tents and RVs but no water or electricity. Non-primitive camping available about 5 miles away and hotels/Motels are about 12 miles away. Scorpion Bay Marina and Pleasant Harbor Marina are about 3 miles away by water.

&nbsp;

Group campfires at night.

Brats on the Beach (no sandy beaches at Lake Pleasant)

Bragging rights for event winners!

&nbsp;

Lots of on the water activities in a protected area with:

- possible 8 mile RAID event with remote desert camping

- possible 5 or 10 mile long distance race following same general course as the RAID but finish is back at the start

- rowing/paddling events

- exploring events

- just messing about.

&nbsp;

Location is dependent on water level, but is likely to be in a deep narrow creek with little swing room so large boats need to be aware (unless they have a dinghy?) Best if the bow of your boat can be pulled up on a gravelly shore with stern anchor (deep water little scope) or pull the boat on shore. (roller or pad for hull protection is a good idea)

&nbsp;
