I recently picked up my CL 16 sailboat and am looking for some good lakes in the eastern Massachusetts area to sail. I need to find some lakes that are: 1. Good for a novice to learn on & 2. Has easy access for a boat trailer All suggestions are appreciated. Bill Lampros

Try Indian Lake in Worcester. It is near the intersection of I-290 and I-190. The boat ramp is on Rt. 122A. The main sailing area is about � mile square. Winds are moderate. Average depth is 10 feet. Water is reasonably clean and reasonably weed free. There are usually a number of sailboards and catamarans around and you might see me out in my Saroca (I live on the island). Have a GREAT day!

YOU COULD TRY LAKE COCHITUATE. THERE'S A STATE RUN RAMP OFF RTE.30 IN FRAMINGHAM. LOT'S OF SKI BOATS. ALSO, HOPKINTON STATE PARK HAS EXCELLENT RAMPS/DOCKS. CONSISTENT BREEZE, LOTS OF WINDSURFERS, NO POWER BOATS USUALLY. BOTH OF ABOVE ARE CONVENIENT BUT SMALL SIZE WILL GET TO YOU AFTER A FEW TIMES. WANT ANY HELP ? | |||||

You can go to Quinsigamond on the Shrewsbury/Worcester line Boat ramp is on North Quinsig Ave, Shrewsbury, Main St. exit on I-290, head twords Worc, first left and about 1/2 mile down on the right. Sail up and have a soda with us at Regatta point Sailing club. Winds usually run light to moderate, except when we get northerlies, then we have some REAL fun.... Greg |
