All trailers should be stored at the direction of the StFYC Dockmaster.
Trailers will not be permitted into the City parking lot prior to June 4th.

Treasure Island Sailing Center:
Centrally located on San Francisco Bay, TISC is a non-profit public sailing facility that annually teaches inner-city youth how to sail. This facility has two cranes capable of lifting a Melges 24. TISC has made special arrangements to accommodate Melges 24 teams who will be arriving to SF Bay early to take advantage of the many fleet events prior to the Silver Cup and the US National Championship.

Visiting teams are offered dry storage for $110 per month and/or $10 per day for shorter stays. A team staying for less than a month would pay $10 per day through eleven days, but no more than $110 for 30 days. This is a special offer for the 2009 US National Championship so tenants will be required to pay their full rent in advance from arrival day. Also, each visiting owner/skipper must sign the TISC Storage Rental Agreement.

The contact person at TISC is Lacey Todd, who is on-site during weekdays. She can be contacted at TISC at 415-421-2225 or via email at Lacey.Todd@tisailing.org.
