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.

It’s that time of year again!! RC Signups are now live. You will need to login. Then go to the sidebar on the home page and click on the event for which you would like to volunteer. At the bottom of the page for the event just click on the “Sign up” button to sign up.

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.
* For Wednesday night events your commitment is to bring a minimum of 3 people*, including yourself.
* For Weekend and E Series events your commitment is to bring a minimum of 2 people*, including yourself.
* If you are interested in doing RC for one of our singlehanded events, please contact John Harris for more details. For these races you will be in charge (there is no PRO) and will need some limited training in how to operate the MarkSetBots and run the races. 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.

* Note: at least one person must be physically capable of going on to the foredeck and handling anchor duty on the Dinse

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.

Full and half-day sessions are offered for all ability levels over an eight week period each summer. All of our Instructors are US Sailing certified and have extensive experience.
