The Lake Washington Sailing Club, in West Sacramento, California, is currently (June 2008)
in the process of trying to establish a new El Toro Fleet. We are just in the startup phase, so now
would be a fun time to join and get in on the ground floor. You do not have to be a "hot shot sailor"
as we are all learning together. We need atleast three other El Toro sailors to join. Also if you don't
have an El Toro yet, but are interested, we would like to hear from you.

Wanted: Used El Toro Parts
Name: Noreen McKeon (510) 235-7168
Email: noreen58@comcast.net

My son recently joined the RYC Junior sailing program. When the club was giving away old, in need of
repair, El Toro's, I got one. But now I need all the parts that go with it . . . mast, boom, rudder/tiller, daggerboard.
I do have a friend that in his youth built boat, so if need be I will get plans and we'll start building them. But in
the spirit of recycling, was hoping that somebody might have some old parts taking up space that they would love to pass on or sell. If the price is right, willing to drive within a 100 mile radius of the Bay Area. Thanks.

Wanted: Used El Toro Sail
Name: Chris (925) 878-9659
Email: ctzortzi@cisco.com

Junior just started in RYC Junior Program. Turns out our El Toro sail is ancient, mildewed and rust stained!
Does anyone have a used sail they can part with? Rather than buy a brand new sail for the first years,
we would love to get by with someone else's decent sail for $50 -$200, depending on condition.

Wanted: Used El Toro Sail

Wanted: Used El Toro sail, free or inexpensive. I can pick up anywhere in California.
I am resurrecting an older El Toro in Fresno.


Posted 8/15/09

I am looking for a pair of El Toro's to teach the grandchildren the joys
of sailing and racing. Since there are no other El Toro's in the
area (Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire), I don't need competitive boats,
wood or glass is okay, but they must be in good condition. Floatation chambers
are highly desired. The real challenge is buying boats at a distance and
getting them here. Finding two together or two in the northeast would be a real plus.

Basin Boat Craft of Oakland, CA. Hull is painted white on the outside and varnished interior.

El Toro charters, including the price, damage liability and boat transportation, are completely the responsibility of the two parties. We only serve to help people connect. It is recommended that the boat owner and the charterer make a written contract.
