2023 Northern California Westsail Rendezvous

The 2023 NorCal Westsail Rendezvous will be held Sept. 29th-Oct. 1st 2023 at Vallejo Yacht Club hosted by Andrea Dose and Mike Ransom aboard W32 Aerides II along with Randy Leasure and Jay Bietz.

All Westsails and Westsailors past, present and future. Bring your boat, crew, or just yourself. We will have dock space for all boats.  

This year we will be keeping the event simple - more of a sail-in then formal rendezvous as in the past.

Please register in advance on the WOA web site and contact Andrea and Mike likeabikemike@gmail.com for guest berth reservations.

We will be using the guest dock at the VYC and docking W32s along the guest dock. We will dock 3 boats lengthwise and then side tying as more arrive 2 boats wide. There will also be other spaces available (yet to be determined) for more boats that don’t fit at the guest dock.

We will be guests of the VYC so there will be other members at the club as well during the weekend with some other activities happening. Please be respectful and responsible as we are guests of the host and club. The VYC bar will be open to purchase drinks. 

Visitors must register in the club guest book upon arrival and have in their possession a current membership card from the club that they represent if from another club. The card is to be presented upon request Visitors are expected to follow general club rules and regulations while at Vallejo Yacht Club and are subject to our statement of limited liability.
