About the Lake Champlain Yacht Club

LCYC is a member-run yacht club located in a sheltered cove on the southwest shore of Shelburne Bay in Shelburne, Vermont. We offer moorings, activities, and community for our members, most of whom own a sailboat or powerboat.

Current membership is about 200 individuals and families. We have a nice balance of informal and formal social events. Our fleet is about 175 boats: 70% sail, 30% power. From mid-May thru early October we have club racing every Wednesday evening, plus about a dozen weekend races and regattas. We frequently host regional and national one-design class regattas. We are the home of Etchells Fleet 25. We have a robust junior sailing program that is open to non-member youth. We also have organized and informal cruises and rendezvous on our beautiful Lake Champlain, the sixth largest freshwater lake in the U.S after the Great Lakes.
