Kalms Day Triup Known as one of the windiest locations on the East Coast, Kalmus Beach has the reputation for being a site for expert windsurfers. It can also be a good site for beginners and intermediates, especially at low tide. This trip is timed to coincide with a noontime low tide, offering shallow relatively flat water sailing conditions. Expect a parking fee. Look for an AMC flag on the beach or in lot to find trip leader/participants. Rain, low wind may cancel. From Rt. 6 take exit 6 (Rt. 132). Follow Rt. 132 (Iyannough Road) through Hyannis Center. Exit the rotary on Barnstable Road (about 80 degrees). Barnstable Road turns into Ocean Street. At a sharp right-hand bend in the road, turn left into the parking lot. Contact Leader before 8 PM Fri. night (617-964-3958, cell 617-921-7591). |

Lighthouse Inn Weekend Trip
at West Dennis Beach We will stay at the Lighthouse Inn located on the water adjacent to the public beach. Professional instructor, Petra Kanz, will teach to all ability levels. Non-sailing spouses, friends, children are welcome to come along to enjoy the beach, the Inn, and the Cape. The per person charges for the Inn (which includes two nights lodging, full hot/cold breakfast buffet on Sat. and Sun. mornings, plus dinner on Sat. night) are as follows: Single occupancy - $250; Double occupancy - $212; Triple occupancy - $188; Quad occupancy - $172. There is an additional charge of $45 per each windsurfing participant. Check in is 3:00 pm on Friday. Check out is 11:00 am on Sunday, but we can use the hotel facilities, including showers, for the rest of the day. To register, download, complete and mail each of the registration forms below (both forms are required)
(1) Lighthouse Inn Registration Form: Complete and mail to the Lighthouse Inn, Post Office Box 128, 1 Lighthouse Inn Road, West Dennis, MA 02670 with the required deposit BY AUGUST 15. You must use this form to make your reservation at the Inn or you will not get the reduced group rate and you will not be included in the headcount for dinner on Saturday night. You must be a guest at the Lighthouse Inn to participate in this trip. NO exceptions (sorry). (2) AMC Registration Form: Complete and mail to Russ Keene, 66 Beechwood Ave., Sudbury, MA 01776 by August 15 with a check for $45 per windsurfing participant. Leader: or 617-964-3958. IMPORTANT NOTICE: You must bring your own equipment, including a wetsuit or drysuit. If you rent, borrow, or will be using new equipment, PLEASE rig everything before the trip so you are sure you have all the necessary components, that they are all compatible with one another, and that you know how it all goes together. This includes making sure that the rig and board can successfully be attached to one another! If you rent, make the shop show you how to rig and verify all component compatibility before you leave the shop. If you borrow, make the owner show you. We have had many problems with participants discovering during the trip that they are missing parts or that the parts they have do not fit together, even when they rent from reputable shops (or when they borrow from good friends). For information on local windsurfing shops, please go to the West Dennis sailing page or the Links page. |
