Cruising Events

Each summer we have a number of scheduled cruising events as well as impromptu cruises. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday as well as weekends throughout the summer. Below is a listing of scheduled events. We keep in touch and coordinate activities with regular postings on the “Cruising Board” located outside the Stewards’ Office and our active e-mail Listserve (visit the LCYC web site to sign up). We also tend to monitor Ch 72 while out on the lake. Look to the Cruising Board and web site for Host contact information and destinations.

Club

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.

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.
