Sailing afternoons on Ammersee (2008)

Hi all
We will be travelling by car from Westfriedhof, and have 2 spare spaces if anyone wants a lift.

oh BTW
what time will we be wrapping up?

Usually around 6 -7 pm, earlier if people wish. We can always "drop off" as boredom / cold / fatigue / sunburn etc dictates.

Sorry, try this link for the boats.

2 boats now booked !

Still room for more !

Is there still room for one or two more? I only just read about the event.

Sure, just come along !

Hey all, I really hate doing this last minute, but I have to cancel . . . My stepdaughter's mother is pitching a fit (don't know why because she's been on a small boat in Greece), so we won't be able to make it after all.

Maybe my husband and I can go next weekend . . . Again, so very sorry.

Really sorry to have to cancel, you'll manage OK, Amersee is pretty much an easy place to sail, have fun.

No worries folks, there is always next time !

Damara4178, you can always come down just to have a picnic and watch the boats !

Ok, I'm on my way out now.

Really wish we could have made it yesterday . . . Sooo, how was it? Will you be putting this together again next weekend?

@ Yotti: great idea. Can you drop me a PM if you arrange again during Jul/Aug? (Crew)

I'll start a list again tomorrow for Sunday. Note the weather looks good, so we will need to book boats early, so be as accurate as pos for attendence please.

And Sunday was good for beginners, light winds, but a little cooller than we would liked ! Any feedback from the participants?

Travel plans:

there is a train that leaves Hauptbahnhof 12:51, change at Geltendorf and get in to Utting (Ammersee) at 13:40.
Travel by own transport. Meet up at the pier for Ernst segelschule at 13:45

Boat details

No specialist equipment is needed. Suncream, soft soled trainers so you don't slip, a light waterproof jacket in case it rains and perhaps a jumper in case the weather looks changeable or cloudy. We can take bags onto the boat, so changing clothes or carrying drinks should not be a problem.

Costs are for just the boat hire @ € 15 per hour split between us. They can take up to 8 people, kids are welcome.

Maybe we meet up before the time to sail for a picnic lunch and give you the chance to ask more questions.

Please confirm by Friday evening, as I have to reserve the boats. If travelling by train, it pays to get together as a group to take advantage of the day tickets.

I will have my handy with me, and will pm you the number in case of emergencies !

Skill / confidence as: none / novice / comp crew / mate / skipper (Note: skipper means you may be required to be the skipper of a boat as well !)
Booking sheet starts as:

Hi Steve
I will be there on Sunday sans missus who will be with some avelling by trainfriends.
I will be train...anyone else?

Shall I add you as mate or skipper ?

Might just might manage this. Work and weather dependant of course.

I'm planning a hangover for that day.

But I might be interested at some point in the summer if you are up for having kids along, depending on the child-friendliness of the crowd, of course.

EDIT - if there's one on the following weekend (28/29) then I'm probably in for sure.

Good, can make this one.

Guy| Mate| +1 | Novice

Will be going by car, picnic lunch sounds good.

Weather looks good for this one ! I'll ask 'er indoors.

yotti

Shall I add you as mate or skipper ?

if its not blowing a hoolie then I am happy to skipper

I'd love to come too. Trouble is hubby is away so is my son so I am on my own with my 6 year old. Would that be OK?
We are good passengers but not experienced sailors...and live around the corner so to speak so it would be ideal.
Weather expected to be up to 30°C . Can't wait.

englishrose: It will not be a problem for us, the more the merrier !!!
stevef: Lets see how many we get first before we decide how many boats !!

Did you realise that aliens time-ported Da Vinci to Ammersee to produce their crop circles?

Google Maps: Utting am Ammersee

That's the corn field maze, different one every year usually!
OK, the chances of me being there on Sunday are pretty good now, weather wise is another matter.
Kids, in every form are more than welcome, enjoyed my last trip when I showed a kid how to sail. Get them started young!
So bring them all along.
Edit, fresh air best thing for a hangover, by the way!

* bump *

I'm in as long as I don't have to work on Sunday. And I would be going by train.
Julia- novice for about 10 minutes, then I should be competent crew

Hi, tis me once more. My son aged 8 shall be joining us as his weekend in Köln has blown out.
So englishrose will be there with the full brood but no hubby he'll be cycling back from the Czech Republic.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Who wants to travel by train on Sunday...maybe we can get a group ticket?

So, please cut / paste to update the list.

See you at whenever it is.( Must check times)

Update: We have only been able to reserve one boat from 4pm. But we will be there from 12:30 for a picnic, and take our chances on a cancellation.

Moral, we need to either commit to a regular booking or book earlier in the week. Alternatively sail in the mornings before the crowd.

I will see you all there at 12.30. Where exactly will you be on the grass beach in front orf the camping platz or ...?

with the temp at 30 degrees, where we can! But yes, in that area. We will have a sign for the TT Sailing Club visible, and I can pm my handy number.

Travel plans:

Train leaves Hauptbahnhof 12:51, change at Geltendorf and get in to Utting (Ammersee) at 13:40.
Group ticket can be organised if enough people get together.

OR:

Travel by own transport. Meet up at the pier for Ernst segelschule at 13:45

Maybe we meet up before the time to sail for a picnic lunch and give you the chance to ask more questions.

I have one boat now "permanently" reserved, but need a commitment by Thursday from skippers to book more.

How did it go last week? Would be interesting to hear some follow-up on the trip...did you manage to sort out the boat situation in the end?
