About Keuka Yacht Club

Keuka Yacht Club provides a clubhouse and sailing facilities seasonaly, opening around Memorial Day and operating through September. The club's main attractions include sailboat racing every weekend, a harbor with slips for powerboats and larger sailboats, junior sailing instruction classes, and general access to beautiful Keuka lake. Annual membership dues are nominal. A strong volunteer force keeps the club's costs down.

Sailboats have been racing on Keuka Lake since 1872 when prize money and innovative designs were standard. Today, the boats sailed are strict one-design classes ranging from the high performance E-Scow to the international class Lightnings . Both are strong fleets in this area, especially Lightnings, with many inter-club rivalries and regional regattas.Our newest fleet is the MC-Scow fleet, started in 2002. We also have an active Cruising fleet that has started to do a few regattas throughout the sailing season in addition to the annual Lusitania Cup typically sailed the 4th of July weekend. The club has also single handed Sunfish and the double handed Club FJ sailboats for rent to qualified members, see the membership page for more details. Take a look at the House and Ground Rules.

KYC also has more than 40 slips available to its members for motorboats and cruising and day-sailing boats up to 25 feet.

Crew memberships for $110 a year is the best deal in western New York. This membership allows you to race with a full member and use the club on scheduled race days
