Folsom Lake Yacht Club

Considering the current virus status and “shelter in place” orders the FLYC board has decided to cancel the 2020 Trans Folsom. All paid Trans Folsom entries will receive a full refund.

The club will also be suspending all races and activities until further notice. Continue monitoring the website for the latest updates.  Hopefully conditions will improve by May and we will see you out on the water then.

Stay healthy and safe!

The FLYC board has moved forward with a difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Camellia Cup. State Parks will not issue a use permit given the current virus situation and the lake level is very close to our minimum safe elevation for race operations. All paid Camellia Cup entries will receive a full refund. This announcement does not impact the remaining Spring Series races nor the upcoming Trans-Folsom regatta. We hope everyone will stay safe and continue to enjoy sailing Folsom Lake as long as we have water.

Attention all sailboat racers, a new year is upon us and you live in California so dust off the cold weather gear, wash the boat down and come join us for the FLYC Spring Series starting on Saturday Feb 22. Skippers meeting is at 10am with first starts no earlier than 11am.

The link to the 2020 Calendar is to the left of this post.  Instead of a PDF file, this is a link to an online calendar which also includes RC assignments.

Board members should have the ability to edit this version to keep it up to date, and everyone will be able to enjoy access to an up to date calendar.

For those that use the mobile calendar on your phone or other devices, that has also been updated.

Let me know if you have any questions!
