Yacht Club

Cazenovia lake is located in western Madison county, to the southeast of Syracuse, NY. The lake is 4 miles long and 1 mile across. When the wind comes out of the west it can get pretty shifty, but most of the time it is less shifty. Fleets sailing out of WBYC include Lasers, Sunfish, FD's, Finns, and also Lightning fleet 164.

Regatta Wraps Ups

Central New York Lightning District

6/20/08

Nineteen Lightnings met at Willowbank Yacht Club on Cazenovia Lake, just east of Syracuse New York, for their annual Lightning regatta, the Caz Flash Bash, on June 14th and 15th. The sailors caught up, tuned up and registered for the regatta early Saturday morning. Since thunderstorms were threatening three races were planned before lunch.

As the fleet left the dock they sailed in a westerly of four to seven knots. Cazenovia Lake is only about a half-mile from east to west. The west shore, where the weather mark would be located was well sheltered by green rolling hills. It would certainly be a challenging morning.
