WrinkleBoat ICR/AzYC Birthday Regatta Registration site up.
by GILASAILR＠aol.com 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

Okay - the registration site for the 2016 WICR/AzYC Birthday Regatta/Leukemia Cup is active - as soon as I finish this note I will be signing in. http://arizonayachtclub.org/2015/12/register-now-for-the-january-birthday-re gatta-leukemia-cup/ The 'Two-Day' option (Saturday and Sunday) is used for scoring the WrinkleBoat Intergalactic Championship - Saturday will consist of as many short course races as the RC can fit in, and Sunday will be the same course as the 'Trans Loch' course - out and around three widely spaced islands - no harried mark roundings! Participation in the Leukemia Cup is based on Saturday race scoring and requires additional entry fee - please support them if you so desire (we have traditionally had a very high % of the fleet entered-Thanks) Event T-shirts from the AzYC are available and I am working on WICR participant available 'tech shirts' at this time - more on that soon. Looking forward to seeing the WrinkleBoat Sailors/Crew and a 'new boat' at the Lake. Gary O. _gilasailr(a)aol.com_ (mailto:gilasailr@aol.com) PS - We are also trying to get a 'Franken-Monty' ready for viewing at the event - Craig Painters 'ex-Experimental' - 'Mutineer' - this involves lotsa glass, epoxy, wood and pookie - sanding/grinding by Craig! The boat will sail in 2017 regatta.

Re: M_Boats: Ashland , Whiskeytown
by Mark Dvorscak 12 Dec '15

Whiskeytown lake is a great sailing lake. I sailed my there many years ago. The water is clear and deep and it never seemed to be very crowded. No boat camping permitted though! You had to have a shore campsite. There are, however, boat access only campsites. Lots of Redding sailors keep their boats at the Marina there. The power boaters seem to prefer Shasta & Trinity. Scenery is beautiful and there are lots of coves and islands to explore. We enjoyed sailing there quite a bit. That's about all for my contribution to this thread.

John, just curious, what's your best go-to sailing venue for the Ashland-Medford area? Can you comment on Emigrant Lake, Hyatt Reservoir, Howard Prarire? Do you venture over to Klamath Lake? I am an M15 owner down in the Sacramento area and, after having driven up to Medford for business on a couple of occasions, wondered about the sailing up there.
