If anyone wants to take charge, or even just organize a single event, just drop the website an email to BSC and the former commodore will help get something started.

Welcome to the Butte Sailing Club website. We're a low-key group of sailors. We emphasize recreational sailing and club-level racing. Our boats are trailerable and range in size from ten to twenty-four feet. We emphasize that sailing should be fun. Our focus is on sailing well while helping one another. Water safety is our club's first priority.

In short, the Butte Sailing Club is a place to learn about sailing, engage in spirited racing, and enjoy one another's company both on and off the water. Consider joining us at any of our events. There is a minimal membership fee ($10 per year). Guests boats and crew are welcome at any event without charge. We encourage prospective members with sailboats of all types, as well as those who may be just looking at this terrific way to spend time.

Regardless of where you are, feel free to contact this site for help in rigging or restoring your sailboat. We have been able to help many residents of Northern California get their boats in the water.

Club Rules
Rule #1: Any day on the water is better than a day ashore.
Rule #2: The best boat is the one with you in it.

5/12/2010 10:15:56 PMpmelconWhiskeytown Sailing Club is having their annual two-day regatta in Redding (Lake Whiskeytown) on the Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Their facility is excellent and sailing on shifting lake winds can be a challenge. Look for a link on the events page.

Wade and the Raven hope to be on the lake one day--there should be room for a few more boats as the level is at 925 feet. Winds are problematic at this point but the air temp will be in the 80s. I hope to be there on Saturday.
