Looking forward to seeing you (at a distance) on Saturday.

Folsom Lake Yacht Club is continuing to plan for Camellia Cup on April 10. Even though the lake may below elevation 400' at the time of the race we do still plan to host racing. There will be enough water covering the course and we will note any known hazards during the skippers meeting. Due to a speed restriction on the lake, we anticipate less powerboat traffic however the only available ramp is Hobie Cove and ramp lanes are limited. As such, we may postpone the start to allow more time for boats to launch. Any boats able to shore/dolly launch will be encouraged to do so to minimize traffic on the ramp. Sailing instructions will be posted by 4/7/2021.

Spring Series Race #4 scheduled for 3/20/2021 is canceled due to the low lake level. The lake level actually went down a few feet from last week and is currently at 393. The good news is that the recent rain brought new snow in the Sierra so we should see more water as temperatures rise. Racing will resume once the lake reaches 400'.

The Trans Folsom Regatta has been rescheduled to 5/15/2021. The FLYC Board estimated that the lake level will still be too low on the original scheduled date of 3/27/2021 to safely hold racing in the forks. Hopefully we will have water, wind and warmer weather in May.

Spring Series Race #3 scheduled for 3/13/2021 is canceled due to lake level. Racing will resume once the lake reaches 400'. The lake is currently at 396 and rising. Check back here for information on Race #4 currently scheduled for 3/20/2021.

The lake is not rising fast enough this week so we are canceling Spring #2 this Saturday 2/27. The last ten days have averaged half a foot a day. If that continues we should be good for Spring #3 on March 13th.

Spring Series Race #1 scheduled for 2/20/2021 is canceled due to lake level. Racing will resume once the lake reaches 400'. The lake is currently at 392.57 and rising fast. Check back here for information on Race #2 currently scheduled for 2/27/2021.

It's finally here!! Members and non-members are now able to pre-register and pay for all FLYC events, memberships and merchandise in advance using a credit card. No more forgetting cash or writing a check that doesn't get deposited right away. Some items cannot be purchased in the same transaction and will be noted when adding the item to your cart.

The FLYC Board is very excited to bring you this new payment option and look forward to seeing you all on the water in 2021.
