Coming and Going…
If by sea:
San Leandro Channel: The approach is pretty straightforward but remember: YOU MUST STAY INSIDE THE CHANNEL MARKERS.
Unless you want to hang out in the mud until the next tidal change. The
marina entrance is at 37 40.30 Lat, 122 13.29 Long. After entering the marina
area, turn left into the marina itself. We will monitor channels 16 and
68.
At low mean tide (0.0 ft.) the marina has about 2.5 to 3 feet in the
shallowest area by the fuel dock Consult local Tide information for the exact
time and depth. We are advised that the channel and
harbor has been dredged to about 5 - 6 feet.
If by land:
Exit the 880 Freeway at Marina Blvd. Exit west. Continue on Marina Blvd. and
bear left at the Y going into the marina. Turn right on Mulford Point Drive for the San Leandro
Yacht Club, which is the first building on the left. Look for the Westsail
flags flying on the boats. There are gates at the docks, so call the host
owner or wave us down and someone will let you in. For out-of-towners, the Oakland Airport is very close. The San Leandro Marina Inn
is directly on the water next to everything. They can be reached at
800-786-7783.
The more boats, owners, crews and enthusiasts to attend, the better the event
will be.
