Welcome! All Westsails, Westsailors and those who wannabe. Bring your boat or just yourself. We have dock space for all boats (but please LET US KNOW if you are bringing a boat). Early Birds can come Friday and stay through Sunday.

Rendezvous Schedule:

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5
Arrival of early birds

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6

Morning: Westsails and wannabe-Westsailors arrive. Look for the Westsail flags fluttering from masts! Join us on the dock for coffee and donuts/danishes/bagels. Registration on the dock.

9 am – Noon: Boat visiting.

Noon – 5 pm: Dock programs by the mighty sailmaker of the stars - Kern of Kern’s Sails…if he shows. Bud Taplin gives his infamous two-beer surveys and prowls the docks and boats with ideas and insults galore…Lots of visiting and ogling…and maybe a WESTSAIL MINI SWAP MEET !!!!! That is if you bring your junk, collectables, used or unused stuff or more to trade or sell to other Westsailors. We’ll array them on the docks. We will also have some tee shirts and other stuff from the WOA for sale.

6:30 pm: Drinks and dinner at the San Leandro Yacht club. Cost per person: $15, not including drinks. Afterwards, a surprise program and giveaway of many prizes, courtesy of Randy Leasure.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7

Morning – Breakfast at the yacht club. Cost per person: $5.

Bon Voyage all day!

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 9 and 16.

If by land:
Exit the 880 Freeway at Marina Blvd. Exit west. Continue on Marina Blvd. And then bear left on Neptune Dr. Turn right on N. Dike Rd. for San Leandro Yacht Club or turn on S. Dike Rd. to find all the boats. There are gates at the dock so call Terry 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 wanabees the better.

See you there !
