591.0. "Small boats on the Cape" by LYMPH::DICKSON (Network Design tools) Thu Jul 02 1987 14:38

I am going to be in Chatham for a while this summer, and thought it would 
be nice to rent a day sailer for an afternoon to see what things look like 
from offshore.

I've called all the marinas in Chatham, and they all seem to be out of the 
rental business.  Might have something to do with the break-through 
protective reef.

Anybody know a place (and the phone number) near the elbow of Cape Cod that 
rents small sailboats?  One guy suggested a place in Harwich, but I don't 
have the number.

I looked in Hyannis last year, and the prices seemed kind of steep.  Like
$75 for 4 hours in a 19 footer.  Will it be cheaper away from the tourist
zoo?

Easy to handle, roomy. The harbor in Wellfleet tends to be shoaly but pleasant for day sailing. Price was not out of the world. Hope that's helpful. Ron
591.2	Long weekend charters?	CONSLT::MCBRIDE	Flick of my BIC Scarecrow?	`Mon Jul 11 1994 15:27`	6
	I am looking for a long weekend rental on the Cape to be able to do M.V., Cuttyhunk etc. Anyone know of outfits or individuals that might be interested in chartering for a long weekend? I would prefer something 30-35' for four people. Brian

	Cape watersports (508 432-7079) was doing them the last time I was down there out of Hyannis. Might try calling one of those charter companies in Marblehead to see what they do with the weekly boats that do not rent for the week. john
591.4	If interested in Newport departure	MR4DEC::RONDINA		`Tue Jul 12 1994 14:57`	3
	If you want to leave from Newport area, contact East Passage Sailing Charters out of Portsmouth, RI. I have done business with them over the last 4 years with great luck.
591.5	Called them, no luck	CONSLT::MCBRIDE	Flick of my BIC Scarecrow?	`Tue Jul 12 1994 16:50`	7
	Called East Passage yesterday. It seems the weekend we wish to go is the weekend of the Jazz festival so everything is booked. Also, at $800.00 for a three day weekend on a Pearson 303, it was much too pricey. Thanks anyway! Brian
591.6	Have charter boat, need charter dinghy	CONSLT::MCBRIDE	Flick of my BIC Scarecrow?	`Fri Jul 29 1994 17:03`	11
	An update and a request for info, we found a Catalina 27 through Cape Water Sports (thanks for the tip!) which was in our price range. The only drawback is there is no dinghy with which to explore. So, my next question is does anyone know of an outfit or anyone willing to loan, rent, or charter a dinghy for a weekend out of Falmouth? We need it for the weekend of 8/12. We just need something to get around in if we choose to explore ashore in the more remote areas. Thanks, Brian
