New Management System

, , , , ,

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.

Let’s lean into Summer!
