The Lake Washington Sailing Club is hosting our annual Turkey Shoot Regatta on Saturday, November 23rd 2002. Lake Washington is the turning basin for the Port of Sacramento and is the best place to sail in the Sacramento area due to our consistent Delta breeze and friendly sailors. Our facilities include a clubhouse with a large covered deck, a launch ramp, grass area with picnic tables, and an 800 lb. capacity hoist. This regatta is open to all trailerable, centerboard sailboats under 19ft length. We're expecting a good contingent of Lasers.

Location

The Lake Washington Sailing Club is located in West Sacramento at the Port of Sacramento. Coming from San Francisco take Interstate 80 East and continue east toward South Lake Tahoe (do not take the I-80 exit toward Reno). Take the next exit, Harbor Blvd exit, then turn left onto Harbor Blvd at the top of the exit ramp. Stay straight on Harbor Blvd through two lighted intersections and proceed straight to the main entrance of the Port of Sacramento where Harbor Blvd ends at Industrial Blvd. After going through the harbor gate, drive to the water, veer to the right across the railroad tracks and proceed down the dirt road to the club.
