Events is a powerful way to look at the LCYC calendar, particularly if you are interested in events of a certain type such as Social, BOG meetings or Racing or Cruising events. Click on Events on the top menu bar and then click on various filters (e.g. Social, Racing, Cruising, Wednesday, E Series, etc.) to display those specific events. If you want to confirm your RC signup, this is where you can see all the PRO and RC assignments.
Thanks to Parker Hoblin for this unique view of the work in progress.
The MVP program provides LCYC members with discounted membership dues to US Sailing and, for every club member who joins (or renews an existing membership), LCYC gets cash credits which can be used to offset the cost of US Sailing training programs and other products and services. As the National Governing Body for the sport of sailing, US Sailing’s mission is to provide leadership for the sport of sailing in the United States. Particularly if you are a racing sailor, you should strongly consider being a member of US Sailing as they provide the underlying support for our sport (e.g. Racing Rules, National PHRF database, Race Management training, Sailing Instructor training, Safety at Sea seminars, etc.). Go to the link below and select Lake Champlain YC to join or renew on line and you will automatically get the $10 dues discount. Also, don't forget to sign up for your subscription Sailing World magazine as well.

With the Ladies Cup coming up next weekend, Club Historian Bern Collins thought it would be a good time to share some important documents about the origin of the Cup from our archives. While there was no formal "Deed of Gift" for the Cup, what we do have is the minutes from the September 1, 1888 LCYC Executive Committee meeting in which the gift was accepted and the rules governing the competition for the Cup were set. We have posted copies of both the original handwritten minutes as well as a transcribed typed version that was done some years later.
LCYC Historian Bern Collins dug this out of the archives to provide some historic perspective (with a little ironic "twist") to this week's BOG decision.
Introducing the LCYC Clubhouse menu from almost 100 years ago. LCYC was quite the place then...and still is now (albeit with a slightly less exotic menu).
Aren't 15 cent cocktails about the same as free beer ?
Here's an interesting document from the LCYC archives:
A letter from Commodore Dinse to the membership regarding the upcoming "happenings" of the 1963 season, which was our 75th anniversary and the second season of operation after revitalization of the club.
Anyone up for having the Stewards give swimming lessons ?
