Lake
Champlain was popular in the sailing periodicals in 2008. Here's a story about
paddle-sailing
aboard a 17.5' gaff rigged Norseboat. They departed from Malletts
Bay headed to Valcour Island to meet up
with the NE Trailer Sailor's Association annual July rendevous. One of our
mooring customers, Gerold Noyes, took
part in the cruise with his McGregor 26'. His picture was in the SAIL MAGAZINE
article, but unfortunately didn't make
the on line version.
