RSVP – Recommended.  It will definitely help us plan knowing how many boat want to attend as we can plan classes out ahead of time.

Enjoy a multihull throwdown and a great Idaho beach scene.

Thanks and see you on the water.  Sail fast…Live Slow.

Sailors,

Results are now posted under the race results link.

Sailors,  The SISA 2014 membership form is ready for your use.  Just click on the blue link above. This form is set up to be filled out on your computer and printed.  If you want to fill it out by hand, just print as usual.

Hey Sailors, or potiential new Sailors,

Check out our classified ads section.  There are now six boats recently posted that look to be good deals.  Check them out and see if you can upgrade your ride.

Sailors,

The board has set the schedule for 2014.  Check it out under our schedule link to the left.  There are a lot of events for everybody to participate in.  We also need race committees, so pick your date and contact John Gabiola to let him know which Regatta you would like to run (This is an important function that all members need to participate in.  Please volunteer early.)

As a reminder, day passes to the Lucky Peak, Lake Cascade and McCall events cost $5.00 per day.  Season passes are available for $10 with your car registration which are good for 2014 unlimited use at all of Idaho's 30 parks and a $5 camping discount per night.

As you know, Hobie Beach is now a fee camping area and in many ways has become a “kinder gentler place”.  It’s certainly less crowded.  SISA has had good luck sharing camper and tent space in single sites w/impromptu pot luck breakfasts before sailing.  Typically member’s beach wheels are available for cat transport. 

Sites are available for $23 - $27 per night all with water and some with electricity.  They will accommodate up to 8 tents.   Double sites are $35.  (Again there is a $5 discount with a pass.) You can reserve 9 months in advance.

Our Cascade events this year are 6/21-22, 7/12-13, 7/26-27 & 8/9-10.  Suggest reserving early especially for the Cascade Cup.  The even number sites are beach frontage.

KNOW THE RULES!
