He also announced that AYS will be sponsoring next year's Chesapeake Bay Beneteau Rendezvous 2001 and extended an invitation to the group, expressing his hope that we would all participate. At this time, discussion centered on the official club moniker. The group agreed that the duties of the host will be to make directions available to the club members and then, as raft captain, to be at the rendezvous point before 5 p.m. on the Saturday of the given weekend, flying a flag provided by Beneteau. As boats arrive to join the host, they will raft together with one of the larger boats in the group as the anchor boat. Participants will bring hors d'oeuvres to share as well as their own beverages and additional provisions.
Dinners are individual and staying in the raft-up overnight is discretionary.
The intent is to make the events fun, stress-free, and social. If weather is inclement that day, members can all meet at Pussers instead. Other Annapolis area Beneteau owners are cordially invited to join us as members or to simply show up at our raft-ups. Here are the original members. We missed a few on the first shot so we took another, but not everyone was in that one either.
