Subject: Sailing on the front range near Denver, Colarado.
I helped Carol rig her boat at Chatfield State Park. According to my son, a resident of Arvada, CO, that is the bigest lake near Denver. You can locate it south of I-470 between CO121 and U. S. 85 on a map.
I was on a very limited schedule and had to leave before she launched. I did not walk the marina. There were a number of sailboats there. While we were rigging her boat, a fellow was rigging what appeared to be a Precision 18. Lots of cat boats. Not enough water to sail a boat much bigger than a R22, although some of the boats at the marina may have been up to 30 foot, I did not see a boat lift.
Lots of wind. Snow on Tuesday. Rivers too shallow to even use anything more than a kayak or canoe.
If you are out visiting your son, contact Carol off list, promise lots of beer... the kind brewed in Boulder...

Hi Carol--
I'm curious where you sail? Our son lives just outside of Boulder and
we're going to try to get out there this summer and I'm wondering if
there are any places to rent sailboats? Last year we went up to
Dillion lake with the hope of renting, but we didn't have
reservations and there was nothing available. Probably just as well
since it was rather windy that day and no doubt it would have put my
sailing skills to a test.
