All sailboats participating in races conducted by the Lake Champlain Yacht Club must register to permit validation of PHRF rating and for scoring. The finish results will not be reported for boats that have not registered. All sailboat races conducted by the Lake Champlain Yacht Club may be raced without charge by members of LCYC and other affiliated sailing clubs on Lake Champlain (Malletts Bay Boat Club, Diamond Island Yacht Club). All weekend races may be sailed without charge regardless of club membership. For Monday and Wednesday night races, sailboats whose owners are not members of any affiliated sailing club on Lake Champlain will be charged an annual fee of $200 for registration. Regional one-design regattas may require separate registration and additional fees.

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.
