[quote=longjonsilver][quote=kasper]Club de voile Sansoucy in Pointe Calumet is a good access point for Lac des Deux Montagnes, also a place that you can store your cat for a seasonal fee.[/quote]
there must be a 100 cats in all stages of live and death stored there at Sansoucy, at 600$ a season/cat thats pretty pricy and a good source of income for them. gotta pay to store your trailer there as well. 30$/day for use of the launching beach. they say that they dont have a boat ramp per se. lots of mystere cats stored there, some for sale. wonder why some boats are on the other side of the fence. appears to be same property. did they not pay the pricy fee and soon a bill built up that was greater than they wanted to pay/more than the cat was worth? i see that in other boat yards, any ideas?
however just down the road there is a municipal (?) boat ramp that appears to be free, and a small beach for changing crew/passangers, next to what appears to be a private beach, also with cats stored on the beach. no place to park car with trailer, but a short hike to the baseball/soccer/hockey field has good free parking. the reason i say that the ramp appears to be free, is that it contrasts with the neighboring town (sainte-marthe de lac) whose boat ramps have signs saying only for residents of sainte-marthe. the cops can easily pull my residence from my license plate and ticket me. dont want to risk that again like i did once with my old penguin "Jorney".
for mystere cats, check not only kijiji, but the quebec favorite before kijiji, lespac.com - two for sale right now asking 10g and 7200$, one just sold. also check the ads at the sansoucy site -
http://ecoledevoilesansoucy.com/annonces.php if you dont speak french, dont be afraid to call, many montreal residents speak english somewhat, and there is a large english community in nearby deux montagnes. if youre still afraid to try but want to know about a boat, PM me and ill give them a jingle. where there is a will there is a way!
i paid 200$ for my hobie 14T including trailer, broken rudders, dirty everything, and rotten sail, so those mystere cats look really expensive to me. rudders repaired, everything cleaned, trailer modded to my specs, a duck taped sail, and im almost ready to get it wet, nice weather this week as well. gotta figure out how to use the roller furling jib tho, any advice? anybody got a good condition hobie 14 main? a starboard frame rail.[/quote]
