Sardis Lake Sailing  Bottom

  • Thought I'd throw this out there in case there are beachcat sailors on here from the Memphis area that I don't know about.

    At least three boats will be launching from the Teckville Public Use Area which is located on the North side of Sardis Lake.

    Weather looks promising with 10+ wind and 30-40% chance of thunderstorms to keep things moving.

    Anyway come join us if you can, I'll be there rigging by Saturday 10:30am or so. The Teckville area has facilities, showers, and even a "down home" style restaurant right at the ramp.

  • Hey guys, I had such a blast down there ( Sardis ) last weekend i'll prob be heading back Sat, maybe sunday for another round. Prob launch closer to dam.
    Winds we're killer last weekend in the 20's MPH and i had my crew trapped out almost the whole time. On the way back in had even stronger winds and 3' + waves we were breaking through, getting soaked from the warm water (hard to see though - kept one eye on leeward hull ). Never pitchpoled or capsized even though i was thinking it was going to happen..Confidence booster for sure. The people there definitely liked seeing sail boats and were very friendly. I hope to meet and sail with some of you here soon!

  • It was epic, was looking at GPS track and averaged about 15mph boat speed the whole time with sustained 18+ and I was doing everything I could to depower the boat since I was solo. With the crew on the wire it wouldn't surprise me if you guys hit 20+ on the wild ride back.

  • Planning to head to Sardis in the morning to Teckville Public Use Area. I think we have three boats, two H18's and a H16. Anyone else in? I'm leaving the house at 9am and takes about an hour and a half to get there.
