Not an exclusive or expensive sailing club!
We are a very friendly, diverse group of people who enjoy
cruising and racing small to medium size sailboats on Lake Townsend. You do not need
to own a boat to join the club or to go sailing with us.
On September 27, 1977 a few sailing enthusiasts met with city officials of the Parks and Recreation Department and Water and
Sewer Department to present a proposal for formation of the Lake
Townsend Yacht Club. The objective of the club is to promote
sailing and to establish and maintain a club for athletic,
recreational and social purposes. Through the continued
cooperation and support of the city and club members, LTYC continues to be
one of the most successful in the state. Races are held monthly
throughout the year as well as a number of daysailing and
cruising events.
The premier racing event of the year is the
Mayor's Cup Regatta which is held in June. There are usually
forty or more boats entered by skippers from all over the state.
Over the years, the club has sponsored a number of activities for
nonmembers and the community in general - such as, sailing days
for the Special Populations, open house and sailing seminars.
