Helpful hints when sailing at the Sac State Aquatic Center

For lake conditions call: 916-278-2842 or check the weather link on our website.

For safety purposes, 2 people are required to rent the Quest, Holder 20 (Keelboats) or Catalina 22.

Thou shalt not sail where birds are standing.

If you see birds standing on what looks like water, they are usually on a “shoal” or shallow area. Lake Natoma is surrounded by cobble and rock. These elements are hazardous to the bottom of a fiberglass boat. Learn and know the shallows and shoal areas. PLEASE STAY CLEAR.

Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs) and FOOTWEAR with heelstraps must be WORN AT ALL TIMES.

Do not attempt to beach or land your boat anywhere except the Aquatic Center docks.

Due to heightened security, the Federal Bureau of Reclamation is extremely sensitive to the Nimbus Dam facility. Please stay at least 200 feet clear of Nimbus Dam.

The Aquatic Center will not permit boat launching from our facility in extremely high wind, high current flow, or electrical storm conditions.

All sailors must know the proper use, care, and storage of Aquatic Center equipment.

Sailboats need to abide by right of way rules. Lake Natoma is a multi-use lake so please be respectful of all users (swimmers, rowers, paddlers, etc.).

Remember: Water, sun block, and a paddle can be your best friend!

SAC STATE STUDENTS ............. $150

(Cost includes textbook)

We strongly recommend picking up the U.S. Sailing textbook prior to the first day of class for review!

Basic Sailing is designed for those with little or no sailing experience; it can also serve as a refresher course for those who have not recently sailed. The Aquatic Center offers three options for Basic Sailing Beginning Sailing courses, each using a different sailboat: the RS Zest, the RS Quest or the Holder 20 Keelboat. This allows students to become certified to rent the boat that best fits their needs. Each course will cover boating safety, sailing theory, knots and rigging procedures as well as basic skills for tacking, jibing, sail trim and docking. Additional skills are covered as needed for the unique differences of each boat. Upon successful completion of the course, graduates will receive a free two-hour rental credit.

Please read each of the course/boat descriptions to select the boat that best fits your needs and physical capabilities! For the Zest and Quest you will be required to capsize the boat at the dock, swim to the centerboard and right the boat, then climb back into the boat. In addition, these two boats require the ability to sit in a low position, squat and be on your knees, and frequently reposition yourself to balance the boat. These two boats are stored on the dock: renters are required to slide the boats on and off the dock. The keelboat, a larger and more stable boat, has bench-style seating and does not have a capsize requirement. However, a basic swim test is required for all boats.

BASIC SAILING - ZEST

Physicality: High

BASIC SAILING - QUEST

Physicality: Very High

BASIC SAILING - KEELBOAT

Physicality: Moderate

MINIMUM ENROLLMENT: 3

MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 12

The newest addition to our fleet, the Zest sailboat is taught using a mainsail only and can be sailed by one person (single-handed). It is the easiest to rig and sail, and compared to the Quest, it is more stable and easier to recover from a capsize. The Zest is 12 feet long, 5 feet wide and weighs 160 pounds. It is our best option for practicing basic skills and sailing solo if you do not have a partner. However, it will easily accommodate an adult and a child or two average-sized adults.

MINIMUM ENROLLMENT: 3

MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 12

The Quest sailboat is taught using a mainsail and a jib and requires two people to rent at the Aquatic Center (only one person needs to be certified). Students will be paired for on the water training. The Quest is 14 feet long, 6 feet wide and weighs 310 pounds; it is a bit more difficult to balance and recover from a capsize. Most Basic Sailing programs utilize this type of boat; it is suitable for beginners but also for learning more advanced sailing techniques.

MINIMUM ENROLLMENT: 3

MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT: 10

The Holder 20 Keelboat is our most stable boat with both a mainsail and jib. As with the Quest, it requires two people to rent (only one person needs to be certified). 3-5 students will be grouped for on-the-water training. With its larger cock pit and bench-style seating the keelboat can accommodate 4-6 adults and is the best choice for those who want a less physically demanding boat. There is no capsize recovery required as this boat is extremely unlikely to capsize.

SAILING CLINICS

Sailing Clinics are offered to graduates of our Quest or Keelboat Basic Sailing Courses. These Clinics are for those who want to be able to utilize additional types of sailboats in our fleet without repeating a full Basic Sailing class, or those wishing to brush up on rigging and derigging these types of boats. Attendees are expected to already have solid sailing skills. While limited sailing instruction is included, these Clinics are focused on teaching you how to safely rig and derig the boat, launching and docking skills, and how to safely recover from a capsize (with the exception of the keelboats).

ZEST & QUEST CLINICS

See detailed descriptions of these boats under the Basic Sailing section.

LASER CLINIC Physicality: Very High

The Laser sailboat, arguably the most popular sailboat, is our most challenging as well as our most exhilarating sailboat. Although it can accommodate 1 adult and 1 child, it is intended to be sailed solo. It is a 13’ fiberglass hull with a large mainsail. It requires substantial movement of the sailor to maintain balance and it will capsize quite easily. Rigging/derigging is also more difficult than other boats in our fleet.

SCHEDULING: LASER, QUEST & ZEST CLINICS

These clinics will be scheduled based on demand: when you register for one of these clinics your name will be added to a waiting list and, when a minimum of three people have registered, we will create a Clinic and contact you. Each Clinic will be 3 hours of instruction on the dock.

CATALINA CLINIC – SAILING

Physicality: Moderate

In 2023 we are pleased to introduce a more advanced sailing experience! The Catalina 22 Sport Keelboat is our newest, largest sailboat with several features that set it apart

This clinic is for those who have already been certified on either the Quest or the Holder 20 and wish to enhance their sailing skill and knowledge. Course content will include rigging, de-rigging, an emphasis on safe and proper methods for approaching and leaving the dock, more in-depth coverage of sail trim techniques and use of the roller furling jib for reefing. NOTE: While only one person needs to be certified to rent the Catalina, at least one other person with Quest or Keelboat certification will also be required. We strongly recommend you bring a sailing partner! Class size is limited to 3-5 students; a higher level of on-the-water skill is required to successfully complete this course. No capsize recovery required as this boat is extremely unlikely to capsize.

CAPITAL OUTRIGGER

Capital Outrigger was established as a program of the Sacramento State Aquatic Center in 2016. Since that time, the program has evolved as a club that is an active member of the Northern California Outrigger Canoe Association (NCOCA). The club’s nick name, ‘Ohana Kai, translates as “Family of the Sea” and is reflective of its purpose: in a supportive climate like a family, to develop an understanding and appreciation of the culture and values of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling through education, recreation and competition. Anyone is welcome, regardless of age, gender or paddling experience. The program offers various options by which newcomers may become involved in this engaging activity. The spirit of Aloha prevails.

INTRODUCTION TO OUTRIGGER CANOE

Paddlers are introduced to the basics of paddling technique, canoe mechanics, and extending their skills to various seat positions in the canoe. For example, they may be encouraged to try the “stroke” seat that sets the crew’s pace; they may also develop some basic skills as a steers person, learning to navigate the canoes from point to point. Successful completion of this class includes 2 practices with captial outrigger.

Veteran paddlers continue to work on their stroke techniques as well as extending their skills in steering and general handling of the canoes with overall fitness which is an ongoing goal for all. Personal goals of paddlers can vary from strictly recreational to a combination of recreational paddling and competitive racing to serious dedication to higher level competitive racing. Coaches plan workouts that support the goals of each paddler whatever that may be. May

Paddlers training for races commit to regular attendance during the summer months when both sprint and long distance races take place. These paddlers develop more refined stroke techniques and increased overall fitness and endurance. Competitive paddlers are encouraged but not required to attend all races.
