To avoid sending out multiple email blasts and constantly having to amend the LCYC calendar and website, the Regatta Committee has decided to approach the 2020 season this way: No scheduled races will take place until the Regatta Committee Chair notifies the membership that racing is resuming. There will be a two-week notice for the resumption of racing. Please be sure to check your email and/or the LCYC website for communications about resuming racing.

All racers are required to sign up for Race Committee at least once each season. The time to do that is now. Sign up is now live on this site. Log in and choose the date (see right-hand side of this page) you plan to serve.

If all slots have not been filled by May 15, we will assign those spots. Please do the responsible thing and sign up early!

We need a few volunteers to help support the three "C's" at LCYC: Calendar, Communications, and Community. Our lives are intertwined with online news, email and social media, and our club needs to evolve as well.

We are seeking folks who have some experience turning on a computer to help support the two or three individuals who run and manage our electronic communications. Some computer skills are necessary but an interest in the club and mission is more important.

Part of the reason our LCYC dues are low is we rely on volunteers to help with docks, house, grounds, social, etc. Please consider lending a hand here.

If interested in helping, email: LCYC.Commodore@gmail.com

The Lake Champlain Championship Series website has been updated for 2020. http://www.lcchampionshipseries.org

The Spinnaker Class groupings for the ten-race Individual Class Championship Series have changed from four to three. See the front page of the site for a statement about the change, and see '2020 Spin Groupings' in the website sidebar to view 2019 boats in their 2020 groupings and a narrative explaining the rationale for the change.

Club

LCYC is a member-run yacht club located in a sheltered cove on the southwest shore of Shelburne Bay in Shelburne, Vermont, USA. We offer moorings, activities, and community for our members, most of whom own a sailboat or powerboat. The object of the Club is to promote and encourage boating and sailing on Lake Champlain, while emphasizing racing, cruising, and education, without financial gain.

Cruising

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.

Lake Champlain Yacht Club has an active junior sailing program, open to all children ages 8-17. We use Optimist prams and Flying Junior dinghies for instruction and racing. Full and half-day sessions are offered for all ability levels over an eight week period each summer. All of our Instructors are US Sailing certified and have extensive experience.
