Folsom Lake Yacht Club

Wednesday night casual racing starts on Folsom Lake Wednesday May 5th and runs till September 1st or we run out of water.

Bring a boat or catch a ride as crew on our Facebook site. Boats meet at 6pm near the center pin due West of the Hobie Cove ramp.

No cost to race, no scoring and no committee boat. Courses will be called on the water. Join us back at the clubhouse for after racing social.

Due to current water levels, the FLYC board has voted to cancel Trans-Folsom this year. At the current lake elevation, sailing in the North and South forks would present unknown underwater hazards to race boats and at this point we do not expect the lake level to rise in time for the event.

As an additional reminder to all participants, please maintain social distancing, if you cannot maintain a safe distance, wear a mask. The clubhouse will not be open to participants. T-shirts and copies of the course chart will be available outside of the clubhouse between 7am and 9:30am

-Registration is now Closed as of 4/9 at 11:00pm

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.
