Next Event: Februarys Sail! (on a Saturday to be determined).

We will meet at the Thermalito Afterbay as there is no water in the big lake! Off to the far reaches of the smallpond, as the wind dictates. if you can't make it, dream of your next day on the water. Rig at 10 and sail at 11. Wetsuits or foul weather gear are essential. Bring PFDs that fit.
View the Lake Oroville level plot from January 1, 2009 to today

The spillway ramp is marginally open at 695 feet, The current elevation is 690 feet (February 1st), only 210 feet below the top! Let's hope El Nino continues to kick in, Southern California decides to conserve, and they stop growing alfalfa and rice in the San Joaquin desert.

Welcome to the Butte Sailing Club website. We're a friendly group of sailors. We emphasize recreational sailing and club-level racing. Our boats are trailerable and range in size from ten to twenty-four feet. We emphasize that sailing should be fun. Our focus is on sailing well while helping one another. Water safety is our club's first priority.

In short, the Butte Sailing Club is a place to learn about sailing, engage in spirited racing, and enjoy one another's company both on and off the water. Consider joining us at any of our events. There is a minimal membership fee ($10 per year). Guests boats and crew are welcome at any event without charge. We encourage prospective members with sailboats of all types, as well as those who may be just looking at this terrific way to spend time.

Regardless of where you are, feel free to contact this site for help in rigging or restoring your sailboat. We have been able to help many residents of Northern California get their boats in the water.


Club Rules

Rule #1: Any day on the water is better than a day ashore.
Rule #2: The best boat is the one with you in it.
