Updated Racing Rules

The attached file below is a quick overview from Dave Perry of the significant Rule and "Game" Changes contained in the new 2017-2020 Racing Rules of Sailing. If you think you knew the old rule book this explains what is new and different. If you don't know the Rules that well, now is a great time to get out the new rule book and refresh your memory!! There are also some good rules simulators on the internet that allow you go test out your rules knowledge in simulated real life situations. I always found this approach to be really helpful vs. just reading the rule book. With less than 3 months until the Practice Race....it's time to get your game on !!!

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.
