Lake City Yacht Club

Promoting Yachting Since 1969


GETTING STARTED


There’s no better way to sharpen your sailing skills and connect with fellow members than through club racing. We welcome sailors of all experience levels—single handers, crews, cruisers, and racers alike. Whether you’re new to competition or a seasoned skipper, our races are designed to be welcoming, fun, and fair for all levels.

From spring through fall, the Lake City Yacht Club hosts regular races on beautiful Lake Pepin. Our racing program emphasizes good sportsmanship, fun, and the joy of being on the water.
