Quagga Mussels - Inspection Sticker is Required

Any boat from a High Risk county in California or from neighboring States will be subject to an intensive boat inspection at additional cost, with a high probability that launch will be denied. Those counties are: Imperial, Orange, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernadino, and San Diego..

The main criteria for a successful inspection are CLEAN, DRAINED, and DRY. Those boats from a saltwater environment, or counties neighboring Lake County, should have no problem with the inspection process. This process is similar to last year; filling out the affidavit form and a brief vessel inspection, on the trailer, prior to launch.

We have made special arrangements for Race Participants to have the inspection at Braito’s Marina 1555 Eastlake Dr. Kelseyville to insure that your visit is hassle free. All “non resident, out of area” boats must go thru this inspection, prior to launch. The inspection station will be available from 4:00 PM till 8:00 PM on Friday the 29rth and again from 6:00AM till 10:00 AM on race day, the 30th. You may then launch at Braito’s or any other launch site you wish. Also, be aware that the county charges a $10.00 fee for issuance of the inspection sticker. No part of this fee goes to the Konocti Bay Sailing Club or Braito's Marina.

The Lake County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol will be monitoring vessels on the Lake for proof of inspection and costly citations will be issued to violators. KBSC apologizes for this inconvenience, however, we are in full support of maintaining Clear Lake as a mussel free lake and we ask for your support in this endeavor as well. Please review the county website: www.co.lake.ca.us/mussels for additional information about the mussel program and inspection.

Launch Facilities
(Note: The Konocti Bay Resort & Spa is no longer open)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Braito’s Marina is a good launch facility and also has ample parking space for trailers. Anyone who launched here last year please note we have addressed launching problems and you will find much improved facilities this year. Many of the KBSC boats participating in the cup are moored here and it is about a 1 1/2 mile sail/motor to the start line. For those without motors there are many boats motoring from here so tows are easily obtainable. In addition, Boats for Sale at 9130 Soda Bay Rd. Kelseyville is also available for launching but not for mussel inspection. You must be inspected at Braito’s first. Also please note that Konocti Harbor Resort is closed.

_______________________________________________________________

Mooring: Boats for Sail (9130 Soda Bay Rd. Kelseyville) and Braito’s Marin have limited dock space but can accommodate. Be prepared to side tie where necessary.
