The official" Chesapeake rendezvous" Was started by Jerry
here is part of a email with some of the story
.........................................................................................................
"Hi Paul, nice to hear from you. I bought a 1987 F-23 about 10 years ago and was having trouble keeping it running. I had been active in several organizations ans enjoyed the company of other people with the same interests so I contacted several Trojan ownes in the Kent Island area and suggested a little get-together. It was so well received I ran a few ads in the local boating magazines and got a big response. I set the up first rendezvous at Great Oak Landing and it was a big success. The next year we went to Cambridge but returned to Great Oak the following 3 years. In 2006 we had 42 boats show up, a record for a single brand meeting on the Chesapeake. "

Jerry Had some back issues I believe and Kent took over . 2008 had a poor turn out due issues . I had been fowling this rendezvous for a while . I believe I found out about it from another now defunct web site . I started pushing the rendezvous hard on this site for 2009 and we had a good turn out 20 something boats I believe . in 2010 they again had a lower turn out . I believe it was due to 2 things ,the economy and it was to far north . I will again push it here even though I will not be able to make it .
I posted the info and then removed it and had it moved here Because the way the responses went. ( most where deleted ) , This Rendezvous has maybe 20% of them on here and of those most are not on here much. Even thought I can not go this year . I take it seriously and respect Kent's efforts and the people that go . And think this dose not deserve all the of off topic BS that was posted.
I will be reposting all the info soon both on The rendevouis and where I will be a long with Wes and Tony , maybe a mid bay get together the following weekend ? nothing offlicial just a we will be here Join us if you want .
I don't want to take away anything or anyone from the Real Rendezvouis
