Lake Champlain Yacht Club

LCYC was well represented at this past week's 56 boat J/24 World Championship held in Seattle WA. Monica and Chris Morgan were crew on the winning and 6th place boats, respectively, and Justin Coplan, who lives in the Burlington area and regularly crews in our Etchells fleet was crew on the 2nd place boat. Congratulations to all. Results at:

We need LCYC member volunteers to help with the Club’s social events. The Social Committee has implemented an easy to use volunteer software program called SignUpGenius to identify our volunteer needs and opportunities and enable members to easily signup to help. To volunteer for a specific event, go to the "Volunteer" tab on this website and click on the "Sign up to volunteer at a Social Event" button. This will take you to the SignUpGenius website to register your volunteer time.

Events is a powerful way to look at the LCYC calendar, particularly if you are interested in events of a certain type such as Social, BOG meetings or Racing or Cruising events. Click on Events on the top menu bar and then click on various filters (e.g. Social, Racing, Cruising, Wednesday, E Series, etc.) to display those specific events. If you want to confirm your RC signup, this is where you can see all the PRO and RC assignments.

The MVP program provides LCYC members with discounted membership dues to US Sailing and, for every club member who joins (or renews an existing membership), LCYC gets cash credits which can be used to offset the cost of US Sailing training programs and other products and services. As the National Governing Body for the sport of sailing, US Sailing’s mission is to provide leadership for the sport of sailing in the United States. Particularly if you are a racing sailor, you should strongly consider being a member of US Sailing as they provide the underlying support for our sport (e.g. Racing Rules, National PHRF database, Race Management training, Sailing Instructor training, Safety at Sea seminars, etc.). Go to the link below and select Lake Champlain YC to join or renew on line and you will automatically get the $10 dues discount. Also, don't forget to sign up for your subscription Sailing World magazine as well.
