Folsom Lake Yacht Club

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.

FLYC will hold Summer Series #2 Friday June 12^th. Meet at the center mark at 6:00 PM. Participants will be required to follow the club’s COVID – 19 Policy (see below). If Summer #2 goes well and everyone follows good safety practices we will continue the Summer Series as scheduled.

We are still working out the details on how to hold the Centerboard and Singlehanded Regattas. The status of Steel Cup and Governor’s Cup are still to be determined. KEMR and the Commodores BBQ are canceled.

Wednesday night Fun Races, aka Beer Cans, are not officially sanctioned races. However boats that happen to meet up at the center mark and agree to sail the same course are free to do so.

COVID–19 Policy

Published on:6/8/2020

• The clubhouse is closed except for official club use, i.e. Race Committee, maintenance etc.
• Social distancing (6 ft min) must be practiced at all events.
• Crews must be from the same household or wear masks.
• No skippers meetings for Series Races
• Masks must be worn for Centerboard and Singlehanded Regatta Skippers Meetings.
• No post-race dock parties.
• Awards will be given at the awards banquet.

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.
