Folsom Lake Yacht Club

Eating spaghetti? No, they're practicing line handling in preparation for the Lady and the Tramp Regatta on Sat., May 12.

This is a fun regatta in which couples race. However, in this regatta, the lady is skipper and the tramp crew. We define Lady as anyone who does not normally handle duties as skipper (usually the first mate). Yes, same-sex couples are welcome to compete.

Lady and the Tramp has adult and junior divisions with Disney Lady and the Tramp trophies for each.

What a great weekend of sailing!! Friday had perfect wind for the practice race. Saturday had very little wind but offered a tough challenge. The beer was cold, the BBQ tasty. Then Sunday offered some of the best wind you'll find at Folsom, slightly overcast and smooth water. Awards were delivered and a new Champion of the Camellia Cup, Mark Erdrich accepted the cup and thanked his awesome crew. Long time connections were renewed and many new friends were made. The members of FLYC and all of the additional volunteers really make this a special event. Thank you!!
