About LCYC
The Lake Champlain Yacht Club is a member-run yacht club located in a sheltered cove on the southwest shore of Shelburne Bay in Shelburne, Vermont. 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.
Current membership is about 200 individuals and families. We have a nice balance of informal and formal social events. Our fleet is about 175 boats: 70% sail, 30% power. From mid-May thru early October we have club racing every Wednesday evening, plus about a dozen weekend races and regattas. We frequently host regional and national one-design class regattas. We are the home of Etchells Fleet 25. We have a robust junior sailing program that is open to non-member youth. We also have organized and informal cruises and rendezvous on our beautiful Lake Champlain, the next-largest freshwater lake in the U.S after the Great Lakes.
Most members store their boats for the winter at historic Shelburne Shipyard, about a mile and a half north of the club.

A number of members founded and provide ongoing active support for the non-profit Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center, located on the Burlington waterfront. The Center provides sailing and paddle programs for youth and adults of all backgrounds and physical capabilities, has a high school racing program, and is home to the University of Vermont sailing team.
