Clubs

The Sailing Club is a great way to get your competitive side flowing! Learn about sailing and racing sailboats while sharing in camaraderie with people of the same interests. If you are curious about sailing but don’t know how, come join us as a crew member for a race on a C Scow or Flying Scot or ask about our Adult Sailing Clinics. For the youth, sign up for one of our two Sailing Camp sessions, June 22nd & 23rd or July 13th and 14th. The Sailing Club races a Championship Series for any class of sailboat every Saturday at 11am from Memorial Day through Labor Day. These races last around 1 hour and 15 min. In addition, the Flying Scots race on Sundays at 11am from July 4 through Labor Day. These races last around 1 hour. There are also small boat races (typically sunfish) on Sunday afternoons starting at the end of July through August. If you’re not up for racing, come over and enjoy the fun after the races at the Club, or enjoy watching the fun from your boat or patio. Please send any inquiries to CLYCSailingSchool@gmail.com or contact Chris Hughes.

Sailing School News ... As long as the wind is blowing, we will continue to sail. However, our program will be a little different this year. Due to Covid-19 we will not hold either of our sailing camp sessions. However, if you have a young sailor that has knowledge or interest in sailing, the sunfish center is rigged and ready to go! This year, in lieu of sailing camp sessions, Chris Hughes and Megan Moss will be coaching sailors during the small boat race series. If you or your young sailor are comfortable testing out the winds in a sunfish or other small sailboat and would like to experience the thrills and tactics of racing, this is the perfect series for you! Much like the sailing and racing we do at our sailing camps, these races will be short, friendly, educational, and fun all while your favorite instructors help you get boats ready and provide on the water coaching from other personal watercraft. This race series is open to all ages of interested sailors and all small sailboats under 15’. A sunfish is the perfect boat for this series and the club is stocked with 12 sunfish ready to go in our sunfish center! The series runs every Sunday at 1:00 pm from July 5-26, with makeup dates scheduled on August 2nd and 9th. The cost to register for the series is $20. To register visit our new website at clearlakeyc.org or email the sailing school at clycsailingschool@gmail.com. Please note, a minimum of 6 racers must be registered to run the series. Get yourself or your young sailor registered today and be the first to claim your boat from the sunfish center! Looking forward to seeing YOU on the water!

The Clear Lake Ski Club was founded over 60 years ago as a subgroup of the Clear Lake Yacht Club. Weekly meetings are held on Saturday mornings at the Clear Lake Yacht Club during the summer months. Members range from 8-18 years old. As a Ski Club member, kids can improve upon ski skills while learning new ones like barefooting or kneeboard tricks. Members will practice the skiing acts they will perform during the ski show at the end of the summer. We often like to challenge kids to try new acts like ski jump or pyramids. This is an excellent opportunity for teambuilding, confidence boosting and making lifelong friendships. Aside from weekly practices, we have fun activities such as scavenger hunts, dinners, movie nights and fundraisers including a turtle race. A list of calendar events is attached as well as a video from the 2017 Ski Show. Looking forward to greeting new faces and welcoming existing members back for another fun summer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTU1D3o_CXQ The following is the Ski Club’s 2020 summer schedule: • Saturday, May 23rd : 5:00pm-7:00pm – Kickoff party and meeting • Saturday, June 13th : 10:00am – 11:00pm – Meeting • Saturday, June 20th : 10:00am – 11:00pm – Meeting • Saturday, June 27th : 10:00am – 11:00pm – Meeting • Saturday, July 4th : 9:00am - 10:30am – Meeting • Saturday, July 11th : 10:00am - 12:00pm – Meeting • Saturday, July 18th : 9:00am - 4:00pm – Ski Show rehearsal • Friday, July 24th : 6:00pm - 9:00pm – CLSC Fundraiser Dinner and Turtle Races • Saturday, July 25th : 9:00am – 11:00pm – Ski Show and After party

The Tennis and Pickleball Club within the Clear Lake Yacht Club is an active community of racquet enthusiasts. Becoming a Tennis and Pickleball member allows for unlimited playing time for you and your lake visitors on our newly resurfaced hard courts. The courts are open from Memorial Day through mid-October. We have two dedicated tennis courts, two dedicated pickleball courts, and one “flex” court that is painted to accommodate either another tennis or two more pickleball courts as daily needs change. Our Tennis and Pickleball members are comprised of all levels, from new players to highly competitive. Pickleball usually has open play each morning. Open tennis doubles are typically on Saturdays; other games are pre-arranged. The courts are not lit for night play. Each July, we have a Youth Tennis Camp to encourage young players age 7 and up to learn tennis basics or to improve their skills. These camps are typically an hour long for 5-6 days, and led by Tennis members who volunteer their time. We are always looking for new volunteer teachers! We welcome new tennis and pickleball members, and try to make it easy for them to find playing opportunities. See you on the courts!
