A few different things mashed together in the original post; no surprise when this board is the main source of info!
The Sailing Club was slated to be moved a while back, when Phase 3 of The Ridge was started. For whatever reason-- slow sales is a likely culprit, given the economy, and the insistence that buyers in that phase were also required to buy an off-water lot as well-- the completion of that phase fell behind schedule. So the Sailing Club wasn't forced to move as quickly as originally thought.
The "new cabins" are not part of the same phase of The Ridge, though they are close; Phase 3 is along the eastern edge of Ware Slough, while the new cabins will be further west, but still in Ware Slough. Five cabins are slated for demolition, and 25 cabins will be built in their place; the lots are already staked out, if anyone is interested.
Interesting thing to keep an eye on: one of the people who is designing the new cabins has the cabin right next to the Sailing Club. Will he be forced to give his place up? Will he be allowed to keep the land, but be forced to build a "Ridge home" on it? Or will he be allowed to keep his cabin when all around him are losing theirs?
Jim (not Ben) Allen has apparently purchased a large piece of land that used to have many cabins on it, but now has far fewer. The tornadoes destroyed several, and most of the rest were bulldozed shortly afterward, even those with minimal damage. A few cabin tenants held out, but their time has come. I'm not sure what the plans are for this land, though it would be safe to assume that it will be a Russell-like development, only not owned by Russell Lands. (This is interesting because in the past Russell Lands has not sold property, and has in fact refused to sell when cabin tenants asked. But now they are selling land-- including many lots that they previously refused to sell-- to one owner.) By the way, this is Jim Allen: http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20060527/NEWS/605270333
