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!

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).
SAILING CLINICS 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.
