Lake Champlain Yacht Club

It may still feel like the middle of winter (again) but the sailing season is right around the corner. To try to do a better job matching up crew looking for boats and boats looking for crew, the Regatta Committee has launched an updated Crew Match page under the Racing section of the LCYC web site. If we achieve our goal no wannabe crew should be left sitting on shore and no boats should be sailing shorthanded. Skippers: If you have crew you only use periodically and are willing to share them with other boats, please consider posting their names and details on this list.

2015 LCYC Nominee Bios

LCYC is hosting its first annual Viper 640 Regatta this fall, on September 27th and 28th. Our nice venue and good September winds are attracting one design racers from Maine, Long Island Sound, Marblehead, and elsewhere. We are hoping to provide member housing for as many visiting teams as we can. We have placed a few teams with local members, but we are still looking for guest rooms and couches for teams of two or three. Boats and teams will be arriving Friday afternoon (the 26th), staying that night and the following Saturday. We will be providing a bagel breakfast Saturday and Sunday, and dinner on Saturday evening.

If you are willing to put up a crew for Friday and Saturday night, we would really appreciate it! Please contact dale [at] hyerstay [dot] com or jason [at] hyerstay [dot] com if you would be willing to host a team. This is a great chance to help us grow this regatta and promote sportboat racing on Lake Champlain!

A big thanks to those who have already offered housing. We really appreciate it!

Thanks!
