In case you hadn't noticed, the Spring Series Sailing Instructions have been posted.

For Spring #4 (or #1, depending on your point of view), Kerry & Drake will be handling the Race Committee duties.

For Spring #5 (or #2), Will & Steve Armstrong are scheduled (I still need to confirm with Steve since he's still out of town).

Bullets are a little late this year (ok, I forgot about them until a few days ago), but will be here for the 2nd race day.

For Trans-Folsom, John Poimiroo is scheduled, but... He has a conflict and is looking for someone to replace him.  Additionally, we really need a 2nd person to help out.  Let me know if you are interested.

Folsom Lake water level has reached 400ft and the racing calendar will resume with Spring #4 on March 22nd. Based on Bureau of Reclamation predictions the water level will continue to rise until mid-June which means all races through March, April and May are expected to have water. Thank you for your patience during this difficult drought year and we all look forward to seeing you on the water very soon. 

Due to extreme low water conditions, Spring Series Racing is officially on hold until water levels increase. The minimum elevation required to run on the water activities is 400ft and the lake level is currently holding below 360ft elevation. Lake levels state wide are not expected to rise until we experience a significant weather event as the snow pack is well below seasonal norms for January. Please do what you can during this drought to conserve water.

In an effort to keep members connected, FLYC will open the clubhouse for activities starting at 11am on each of the Spring Series race days. The club will provide access to the BBQ (bring your own meat), drinks and snacks along with sailing trivia or other games.

If you pre-paid for Spring racing, we will refund your entry fee. Contact Barbara Craig or Scott Fredrickson.

The following changes to the FLYC schedule are effective immediately and we will work on updating the 2014 calendars accordingly. Please pass the word to your fellow sailors.
