Junior Sailing Director Needed

This is your opportunity to help continue the legacy of Junior Sailing at LCYC! The Junior Sailing program is consistent with our overall mission to “promote and encourage boating and sailing on Lake Champlain, while emphasizing racing, cruising, and education, without financial gain.” It is often the first opportunity for non-members to learn more about our programs. The program welcomes the children of members and non-members, and will be coordinating with the Recreation Departments from Shelburne and South Burlington. Racers and cruisers, alike, benefit from a strong junior sailing program!

We are very fortunate to have a team of passionate members who are willing to assist with registration, equipment coordination, regatta planning and coordination, and purchasing. We need an LCYC member to coordinate their efforts and take responsibility for the overall program. We would love to hear from you if you are interested and willing to volunteer your time to make this program a success for 2025.

The program runs for 8 weeks from June 16th to August 8th. We will have 4 instructors, including a head instructor. Advertising is underway and registration will be active as of February 1st..

If you are interested, even just a little bit, please contact John Stetson at lcyccommodore@gmail.com, or 802-343-5233. We need you! You can make a difference!

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.
