Raid Erie 2026

[Alan Stewart]

I told my parents they should take their boat to Raid Erie but then we got to thinking hey we could actually do it too. So we're registered! so now I MUST finish my 20mk3 and they're going too. And I see already Erik is going in his 20mk3 also Niels Wade with his P22 and Andrew in his CS-20. 

Here is the participants list form March 10 posted by Eric Miller the organizer. 

Paul was there last year.

I looked into getting a reservation at the campground and it seems like they're full.

Eric posted this a while back on the fb group.... I presume that's the campground on the island. Im planning to leave my car at the East harbor state park campground and sail over. I think there is a group doing that then stay on the boat. 

 

The St. Hazards website is only set up to handle reservations for 10 tent camp sites, but the campground has room for many, many more tent campers. They will basically never run out of room. When it shows full, it just means you can't reserve using the website, you need to call or email to reserve:

 

email: info@sthazards.com, phone: 419.285.6121 or 419.307.6214

I recommend calling, leaving a vm, and texting both numbers since its out of season for them.

 

Do not worry! you can even show up to St. Hazards during our event with no reservation at all, and they will accommodate you! Promise!

Looks like a great event. 

 

 Going to try to make it (someone please call my boss and tell him sailing is more important than work).

 

I've always wanted to sail on a Great Lake.

I put my name in the list… with a little luck I can pull off being part of the event. I would camp aboard my CS17m3.

I am signed up for the event and looking forward to it.  I have a cabin (on land) that sleeps four.  At the Muskegon Messabout I coordinate, I met Eric and some others who attended Raid Erie.  It sounds like a great event!

 

Alan is correct, the campsite reservation page says sold out, but that's not true.  Check the Raid Erie Website and FB page for more information.

 

My plans are still loose because I don't know how many of the family are coming.  I might have room in my cabin, but likely not.  

 

They do allow you to combine boats in the slips, as long as the total length of the boats does not exceed the slip length.  Unfortunately I tried to save a few bucks and got a 36' slip.  That means a CS-17 couldn't snug up next to my CS-20.  Bummer.  But, there might be others with 17 feet of room in their slip, ask around on the Facebook page.

 

Alan, great to see you and family are coming!  I'm looking forward to meeting you.  I plan to sail over to the island, though I will make ferry reservations just in case the weather window doesn't cooperate.

I think we may have SEVEN  B&B boats coming!!!!!!

 

Me (Andy)  CS-20 mk1

Alan    CS-20 mk3?

Alan's parents  CS-20 mk3

Steve  CS 20 mk3

Ted  CS 17 mk3

Erik  Princess 22

Niels  CS 20 mk3

 

And Don is coming, on foot, though if you know Don any one of us will be glad to have him as crew.  He's knowledgeable, kind, has good food, and most days smells alright

 

If you are on the fence, join us!

Don is coming on foot?  That's a long walk.

 

With about 374 boats in his fleet, I'm surprised he's not bringing one.
