House

Clubhouse The first clubhouse built on this property in 1963 was demolished at the close of the 1997 season; the present building, designed by member architects, was opened the first week of the 1998 season. The design recalls the open space and canvas covered porch of the very first clubhouse, on the Burlington waterfront, in use from 1888 to 1901. The present building is 2770 sq ft; 4500 sq ft counting the office and patios. (The 1963 building was 1150; 2550 counting a wooden deck.)

Unreserved Use Inside chairs, tables, outside lounge chairs, kitchen facilities, icebox space, fireplace, and open spaces are available, generally on an unreserved first-come basis. Use of these items and spaces is subject to club rules.

Reserved Use Partially-exclusive use of the house by members is available on a very limited basis only upon approval in advance by the Board of Governors. Please contact the House chair for details.

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.
