Summer at the EYC

What are you most looking forward to this summer at the EYC?  Is it the weekly racing in a 420, Laser or Scot?

Is it jumping off the dock and swimming to the platform, Youth Activities, Bridge, Bunco,  or Friday night cookouts?

Your kids’ happy smiles as they return from sailing lessons? Is it watching the sunsets from Eagle Harbor?

Maybe it’s the ARM Fundraiser Gala and Auction on June 26th or the Ephraim Regatta on Aug. 7th?

We are looking forward to all those things and more!

Summer is here!

See you on the dock!!

3. Register for a Dry Dock Slip

EYC Members, as you may know, EYC offers dry dock slips to its members for certain types of boats (Flying Scots, Lasers, Optis, kayaks, windsurfing kits and SUPs). Here is the Active.com registration link for 2021!  While we anticipate, based on past several years usage,  that there should be enough space to accommodate Flying Scots and Lasers or Optis on dollies,  space for other boats which are rack dependent is very limited and will be given on a first come first serve basis.  So register  how with the  Active.com link.
If you are unable to obtain a kayak, windsurf or laser rack spot please email [email protected] to indicate interest as club may have additional capacity for these open.
Please note that for now, we will not be renting lockers. As the COVID-19 pandemic situation hopefully continues to improve, we may open locker rentals this summer and will handle that in a separate communication.
See you on the Dock!
