A splendid variety of monohulls, catamarans and power yachts were on display at the This Cruise is a joint event with Folsom Lake Yacht docks for us to tour, and the experts were there to Club, and is timed to begin immediately following answer any questions we had.

What a great fit; it’s always nice to have a new crispy sail to fine tune your boats This year's NM/PC, held April 22-23, had performance. Friday’s wind was exceptional and everything one could hope for: gorgeous weather, Charmed Life and Amata sailed briskly across plenty of water in the lake, and not a lot of Folsom Lake up and back the lower finger. After powerboat wakes to make the ride bumpy. Two we tucked our boats away in their respective slips, boats attended: Quiet Time, a Catalina 25 skippered we returned on Saturday for the pre-race skippers by Past Captain Laura-Ann, and a Venture 22, meeting.

Eventually, the mast was successfully rigged up, NEW MEMBERS/PAST CAPTAINS CRUISE and the boat was ready to launch around noon, April 22-23, 2017 when a second, more serious mishap struck. Lacy Cruise Leader: Laura Ann Charlot got Sedna into the water at the Brown's Ravine Quiet Time, Catalina 25 ramp, but then the boat refused to float off of the trailer, even after the trailer was backed down until One of my favorite Fleet 4 events every year, since the tongue was completely submerged and water my first one in 1992, is the New Members/Past was almost up to the truck's tailgate. We pulled the Captains Cruise, traditionally held the third or boat out, and looked underneath, but couldn't see fourth weekend in April. In the past several years, anything obviously wrong, so Gary hopped aboard, the NM/PC has been, on average, the best-attended and we tried launching Sedna again. Still no luck; of Fleet 4's overnight cruises at Folsom Lake. Why the boat would not float off the trailer, and it was is this such a popular event? I think it has a lot to obvious that the swing keel was not clearing one of do with conditions at Folsom Lake in spring: the the trailer frame cross-members. So Gary tried weather is in that perfect zone for outdoor activities, cranking the keel up, and BANG!!! The Boat with temperatures not too hot or too cold, and the lurched alarmingly, and there was a noise like someone had dropped a very large, heavy object packed up, tied the kayaks back into towing onto, well, a steel trailer frame. Gary reported that position, and I took my guests on an exploration of the keel cable was tight and could not be cranked up the South Fork all the way to the Salmon Falls Road any higher, yet the boat would still not float off. At bridge, which is as far as one can go up South Fork this point, there was nothing left to do but haul the in a sailboat.

Keel cables are cable, and cable clamps instead of copper swage a regular maintenance item, and no one should sleeves. The proper cable for this keel is probably expect to run one more than maybe 5 years anyway, 1/4" diameter, maybe even 5/16", so that 1/8" cable so it was due for a replacement even if it hadn't was seriously undersized. We were just broken when it did.

We’ve sailed her at Monterey, SF bay, the San Juan Islands, and had her in a slip at Folsom for several years. We’ve had a Catalina 22, a McGregor 26, and she is by far the best boat we’ve owned. We are now restoring an old Airstream, so our focus is changing, and it is time to let the Hunter go.
