Thanks to Ted Castle for highlighting this Sailing World article. As we head into the new season, it clarifies several rules situations that routinely arise in our racing. Note: There is one typo in the story...see if you can find it.

LCYC is a member of US Sailing's MVP Program

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.

Dave Dellenbaugh Seminar a Success

Thanks to everyone who made it to the Dave Dellenbaugh racing tactics session last night! A great crowd of 63 sailors listened in on start line positioning, strategy versus tactics, looking for clues on the race course for more speed and some friendly discussion on how to do a beautiful leeward mark rounding. A lot of very cool drone footage made the situations he discussed really clear. Plus, all attendees received two great workbooks detailing what he discussed plus a lot more. Thanks again to everyone who attended and Dave for giving such a great seminar!

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.
