"Where Knoxville Sails"

Activities

•  
  • Social - Concord Yacht Club hosts a number of social activities for members and their guests. These include social get-togethers (Shrimp Peel, Potlucks, Fourth of July Fireworks, Annual Banquet) , club regattas (Memorial Day, Fourth of July,Labor Day, Club Championship), and work parties (usually in Spring).
  • Racing - The mission of the Concord Yacht Club racing program is to provide a high quality, fair racing program for Concord Yacht Club members. The racing program provides a competitive format that both encourages those members who are non-racers to race and encourages current racers to remain active in racing. Weather permitting, club races are held Sunday afternoons virtually year-round.
  • Fleets - The club is host to a number of fleets, ranging from one-design classes such as Thistle and Windmill, to the Auxillary fleet which encompasses a wide variety of larger boats.
  • Instruction - Kid's Sailcamp is a week of sailing instruction, water safety, and swimming provided by Club members for members' children and other sponsored children ages 8-15. All children must pass a swimming test. CYC members lend their boats for use and instruction during the week. Parents of children in Sailcamp assist with all activities. Advanced Junior members serve as counselors. (Here are a couple of pictures of the sailcamp fun: Sailcamp1.jpg, Sailcamp2.jpg). The club also conducts an adult sailcamp.
  • Newsletter - The official club newsletter, called the Luff Letter, is published monthly to keep members updated on upcoming events, club happenings, and racing results.
