The Sailboats
The limited edition model sailboats designs are inspired by Jack London's Snark. They measure 18" long and are crafted out of singed redwood trees removed after the Sonoma wildfires. The premier boats of 2019 are named after Jack London novels: Call of the Wild; White Fang; Valley of the Moon. The prized model boat is The Snark.
In April, when the Sonoma Creek has sufficient flow, the sailboats will compete in the Jack to Jack Yacht Race, a .7 mile course down Sonoma Creek, starting at the Jack London Lodge in Glen Ellen, and ending at the Jack London Village. There is an alternate "Low Tide" short racecourse plan as well.
