Latest on the new docks...They are here!!!

The new docks have all been delivered from Structurmarine to Shelburne Shipyard after a tariff driven roller coaster ride taken by both LCYC and the StructurMarine team (SM team in pic).

SM did a yeoman's job to expedite manufacturing and shipment to get the docks across the border before the ever changing tariff deadlines. Mission accomplished!!

The Shelburne Shipyard team has also been very helpful and supportive throughout this whole process. If you see Andrew Connell (SSY GM) say thanks!!!

A team from SM and LCYC, along with support from SSY and Pierre, will be launching the docks at SSY, moving them to LCYC and installing them in mid April.

Singlehanded Dinghy Program

LCYC sponsors Singlehanded Dinghy (Laser and RS Aero) racing on Thursday nights from early June through early September. To encourage more sailors to participate in our racing LCYC is allowing a limited number of non members, for a nominal fee, to keep their boats at LCYC for the racing season. Participants are not club members, but will be permitted to keep a boat (on a dolly) at the club and access the club, as a guest, subject to the rules of the club and this program, as detailed below. To be clear, participation in this program is predicated on regular participation in the Thursday race series.

Exciting docks news update!

The first two shipments of docks are here!

It has been a very busy time since the approval of new docks at the Annual Meeting. There have been a couple of dock teams working on final plans, logistics and finances. After a lot of consternation and option assessment we determined the best plan was to have the docks shipped to Safe Harbor Shelburne Shipyard where they will be unloaded, stored and launched. We will then float them to the Club in early April for installation (get ready dock team!). This has been a lot of work and coordination, and we have been very lucky working with the StructurMarine (SM) team, Andrew, at the Shipyard, Pierre, and some key club members.

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.

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.
