My first mate's son is in the US Navy stationed on the USS Nimitz in Coronado, Ca. We went out to greet the ship this past September and were amazed at the beautiful sailing conditions in the bay and offshore.We are planning another trip out there in May of 08' and were hoping we could find a C-25 or C-250 to rent for a few days. (better than a hotel in my mind.) Can anyone recommend a good place to rent? Or do you know any club members that may be able to help us out with a great discount? Thanks in advance.
Your first mates son might be able to rent one on base at the Fiddlers Cove marina.

Also available are slips from 30 feet - 45 feet, showers, bathrooms, a laundry facility, chandlery store, holding tank dump station, and dry storage space for boats and boat trailers. We also rent 4 foot by 4 foot and 4 foot by 8 foot ‘lock and leave’ lockers.</i>
Cate, get a room at the Motel 6 ($53) in Hotel Circle near Mission Bay and come sailing with me. Or get a room at the Hyatt Islandia right in Mission Bay ($200). I'll give you more sailing than you can handle and if you want more, rent a Capri 14.
C250 rental is about $120/day. They have many boats from 14 to 30.

We were actually thinking of doing an overnight and the C250 looks nice. We are having the navy boy check out Fiddlers Cove rentals because I am sure he would get the best price around.
