Ahoy Mate!
You’ve just discovered one of Merced’s little hidden treasures, Lake Yosemite! It’s a tiny lake, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, some might even call it a pond. But nay, shouldn’t say such a thing about this gem. She’s a joy to sail across her blue waters pushed along by a refreshing breeze. It’s a respite from the valley heat and a reprieve from toils of the day. Here it’s just us. I mean us as in friends, a boat, and the lake. We all come from different walks of life, a myriad of qualities and characters, but all with a unique story and a common interest. We invite you to join us too.
2024 Spring Regatta
We had a successful Regatta in 2023 and are looking forward to another fun 2024 Regatta May 18 & 19 at Lake Yosemite, Merced, California. The registration forms are online and ready for you to register for this fun-filled challenge.
