Location: Sacramento, CA

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.

Original mast, tiller/rudder, dagger board, and boom + newer unfinished mast.

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.
