Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater sailing in North America with beautiful scenery and a charming lakeside.

In the summer of 2020, instigated by the COVID pandemic, LCYC started a series of informal singlehanded dinghy races on Thursday evenings. The racing was open to all comers with the fleet consisting primarily of RS Aeros and Lasers. The response to this racing was tremendous and it will now be part of the regular programme. As a result of this new activity the RS Aero fleet at LCYC grew from 2 to 6 boats with the inspiration to hold the first RS Aero Vermont State Championship in 2021.

Club
Club

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, 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. Please let us know if you are interested in membership!

Cruising
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 during the sailing season. 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.
