Established in 1931, the Crystal Lake Yacht Club is a private, family-oriented sailing club located on the west shore of Crystal Lake. We are open from early-June until late-August. Our primary goals are to sponsor competitive sailing among members of all ages, and to encourage safe and fun boating on Crystal Lake. Since the CLYC is located in "Scow Country," our primary scow fleets consist of Es, MCs, Cs, and Butterflies. Besides the scow fleets, CLYC is also home to one of the last remaining Wood Pussy fleets in Northern Michigan. Established in 1949, it is one of the oldest at the club next to the C-scows. Beginning in 2024, the club began racing the Melges 15, the Sailing World’s “2022 Boat of the Year”.
