Geese Invasion

Folks
Those of you who have spent any time at the club lately have noticed the unfortunate amount of goose droppings on the grass, walkways, and launch ramp. A number of geese and their goslings are walking up the launch ramp to spend the night on club grounds. To prevent this from happening we have started placing fencing across the ramp. The stewards will put up the fence when they leave for the night and take it down in the AM when they arrive. We are confident this will help to alleviate the poo epidemic. Early indications show that it is working. Until then , watch your step.

Key Points:
* All active racers are required to do RC a minimum of once every 2 years.
* On May 1 any racers with an obligation for 2024 who have not signed up will be assigned an event.
* RC is open to any and all club members. No Racing or RC experience is required. Doing RC is a great, fun way to help fulfill your annual volunteer commitment.

We’ve had numerous newbies do this successfully and have a great time in the process so don’t be afraid to give it a try.

    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
    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.
