The EYC has transitioned to ClubSpot! ClubSpot is our new system that manages BOTH membership dues and our lesson program registrations — all in one place with a single login.
MEMBERSHIP
If you were an active member in 2025, you should receive an email this week with an invoice for your 2026 dues to the club.
The EYC is moving to a new club management system, Clubspot, this season. Clubspot will be a one-stop shop for our community to sign up for membership, renew membership, lessons, dry slip rentals, and review racing results: all from a single login! In the future, we anticipate this same system to also handle our calendar and signups for ticketed events.
For mailed renewals, please send to:
Ephraim Yacht Club
P.O. Box 331
Ephraim, WI 54211
We look forward to the simplified experience Clubspot will provide our members. Stay tuned for further updates. We are targeting a February 1st launch for membership and lesson enrollment through Clubspot.
Over the next two weekends, the EYC will be hosting the 420/Rich Hall Jr Regatta on Saturday, July 15th and Sunday, July 16th. The Laser Regatta will be held on Saturday, July 22nd and Sunday, July 23rd. Both of these regattas are open to all and competitors do not have to be EYC members. EYC members are eligible to use club boats and will be entered into the boat draw upon registration. The 420 Regatta will have two divisions under 18 (Rich Hall) and 18 over. For the Rich Hall Regatta, skippers must be at least 12 years old.
Registration is available online at this link EYC Racing and also on race day at the clubhouse. Please check the NOR for the schedules of the races.
Parents racing is a great way for sailors to use and improve their sailing, develop leadership skills and have a lot of fun. We hope you encourage and support your young sailors to participate.

Many Thanks!
Under a lovely sun filled sky, looking out over the beautiful shore of North Bay, EYC members and friends had a spectacular time enjoying each other’s company, bidding on the fabulous auction items, enjoying wonderful food and drink in a beautiful venue, Gordon Lodge! The lights sparkled, the guests smiled their brightest smiles in their fabulous 50’s dress and together we all raised money for sailing scholarships for our Door County boys and girls.
A very big thank you to all our EYC family of friends who attended, donated and helped in our 10th annual ARM-EYC Sailing Scholarship Fundraiser. Thanks to the EYC staff who helped with the auction and moved the boats, once again! The evening was great fun and the spectacular venue truly transported us to a golden time gone by.Surrounded by friends who generously participated in the live and silent auction, it looks like another successful year that will allow us to send more kids to sea.
Our heartfelt thanks! The Moore Family
