Annual Mead Madness Sail (Late March or Early April)
Annual Fall Flotilla Sail (Early October)
Bi-Monthly Fun Races
This is a fun race with NO formal racing penalties assessed, but with common sense "Rules of the Road" being observed. Any sailboats is eligible to enter and the Commodore will assign appropriate handicaps per boat at the Captains' meeting.
Give me information about your arrival so we can meet you before the race. I plan to launch my 96' MacGregor 26X, "FOREVER" on Friday, before the race. I will overnight at a cove in Callville Bay. You should see our masts as you leave the marina tire jetty either just to the East or West side of Callville Bay Marina. The courtesy dock fee at Callville Bay Marina $15 / day for boats, and is assessed after 11 PM. If you need more information contact me at captkimo01@yahoo.com. Due to the low water level of Lake Mead we are conducting the races from Callville Bay Marina for easier launching at their ramp rather than Las Vegas Bay, which is closed.

REVISED October 24-31, 2008 Callville Bay, Lake Mead, NV. RE: SAILING RALLY for FALL FLOTILLA SAIL, REVISED TO OCTOBER 24-31, 2008
Assembly at Callville Bay (12 mi East of Junction 147/167 on Lake Mead Drive / Northshore Scenic Drive, Lake Mead NV) Courses for legs for a sailing rally for the "Fall Flotilla Sail", at Lake Mead NV. Mark time when your boat's transom passes within 50 feet (two boat lengths) of a safe passage by a navigation buoy. Open to additional suggestions. Here is revision from comments received so far:
Leg 1: BOULDER BASIN: Passing CB-A at the entrance to Callville Bay TO the end of Flamingo Reed (RED marker "12"on the Point above the reef) prior to first turn on Western End into the Narrows. *
Leg 2: VIRGIN BASIN: Passing Yellow Lake Depth recording buoy outside of the Eastern End of the Narrows TO rounding the SW headlands and in line with NE headlands tips of Middle Point Bay.*
Leg 3: Passing a line between SW and NE headlands tips of Middle Point Bay TO either (Wind direction and strength dependent):
3.A. OVERTON ARM: Green Marker "13" on Big Horn Island, outside Echo Bay.
3.B. TEMPLE BASIN: Red Buoy "34" off Heron Point, Temple Bar Bay
Leg 4: GREGG BASIN: Passing Red Buoy "46" off Channel Reef, Gregg Basin TO Red Marker "54" Sandy Point, Gregg Basin.
* Leg 1& 2 to be completed on the same day. Only reason for the break is to allow the option to motor through the “Narrows” between Boulder Basin and Virgin Basin. With the blind turns, high speed motor boat traffic, and the wind gusts in the narrows, motoring through the “Narrows” is the safer option.
