2027 Race season

Dear FLYC Members,

As the Board begins planning our racing schedule for 2027, we want to hear from you. The Board welcomes all input and suggestions regarding preferred dates for our upcoming 2027 regattas and races.

Your suggestions will be reviewed and considered during our next meeting on October 6th.

To help you with scheduling recommendations, here is a quick look at when key events were held this past season:

Trans Folsom: April 11, 2026
Cam Cup: April 26, 2026

For a complete reference of last season's event dates, please consult the calendar on the FLYC Website.

Please submit your suggestions to folsomlakeys@gmail.com by October 4th so we can compile them ahead of the meeting.

Thank you for helping us shape another great year on the water!

BEER CAN RACES

Every Wednesday evening, May - September, from 6 p.m. to Sunset

Competing sailboats of all classes gather at the center mark on Folsom Lake for informal, rabbit start racing (no Race Committee). Race committee may be on course and running traditional 5-minute starts. There is no entry fee and all boats are welcomed to participate. Just show up and look for other sailboats near the center mark.

The animation at left shows how rabbit starts occur. The rabbit is in red. If confused, hail any sailor and they'll be happy to explain.

Summer sunsets and dependable evening breezes make for spectacular sailing.
