I used to sail out of Richardson Park Marina at Fern Ridge. They do have short term slip rentals and you can sleep on your boat at the slip or anchored out. Most of the lake is less than 20' deep so you can anchor any place you like. Winds are always good in the afternoons. Orchard Point is the other marina on the lake but I only used their facilities once and that was almost 20 years ago. It looks like you can make reservations on line through Lane Co. Parks http://reservations.lanecounty.org . I believe there are a few Montys on the lake with seasonal moorage at Richardson but I don't know the owners if they're even on this list.

Hi all,
I think there are a couple or more Monty owners here who are familiar with Fern Ridge reservoir just west of Eugene, Oregon?
I'm thinking of bringing my M17 "Pajarita" up there for a couple days' sailing later this month. Maybe as soon as before and/or after next weekend, as I need to be in the area on the 12th for sure, and possibly 11th.
So if anyone can point me to where to contact for launch, marina, short-term slips/buoys, and best options for those if there are several, I'd much appreciate it!
Also any info about how the sailing is this time of year, and, can one sleep on one's boat at anchor or mooring.
Sailing with other Montys there would be icing on the cake if this works out for my schedule... :-)
thanks, John S.
