We regret to report that club member Frank Snyder passed away yesterday.

Frank's local family includes his wife, Jesse, as well as his daughter, club member Suzanne Johnson and her children. Our thoughts are with them all at this difficult time.
Frank was a seasoned sailor and included in his sailing resume service as past commodore of the New York Yacht Club. In Frank's honor, flags will fly at half mast at NYYC and at LCYC for a week. Please refer to the Free Press for further details on arrangments.

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.
