Hello Herburban,
If your assumption is that renting an RV site gives you onfettered use of the entire Ellacoya waterfront east of the brook over to the Lake Shore Park fence, and that you shouldn't have to ever share that with people who want to sail, then I probably can't please you. If the Sailnig Center was to be placed at Ellacoya, it would take up about half of the frontage referred to above. Remember, people in the campgroung are supposed to swim on the public beach west of the brook, but we have no intention of raising that as an issue. Also, people aren't supposed to moor boats off the shore without a mooring permit. We plan to have some permitted guest moorings for RV'ers to use off the shore.
Please also remember one other thing -- placing RV's and tents on the Ellacoya land was never one of the activities mentioned in the deed to Ellacoya given to the state. Sailing and teaching sailing were two of the specific activities included in that deed.
The truth is that there's plenty of land for the RV'ers and for the people who want to sail. I suspect the many people coming to use the RV Campground will find the Sailing Center to be an attractive new feature of coming to Ellacoya.
Regards,
Tom Mullen
