Welcome to
Lake Canyon Yacht Club
The Lake Canyon Yacht Club was chartered in 1967 
with a primary focus on sailing, as well as active participation in the LCYC volunteer-based community. It is located on the north shore of Canyon Lake, Texas about 45 miles north of San Antonio and 50 miles south of Austin. The club facilities occupy 18 acres of land on a bluff overlooking the deep 8000 acre lake.
The club's amenities include a 144 slip waterfront with ample docking space for dry sailed boats and visitors participating in regattas, a two lane launching ramp, dry storage for over 150 boats, a clubhouse with a party deck, swimming pool, and a boat rigging tower for stepping and unstepping masts. The Lake Canyon Yacht Club supports an active racing program which includes J-22, Catalina 22, Flying Scot, Sunfish, Opti, PHRF, Portsmouth and Multi-hull fleets. Not to be missed is our annual Wurstfest Regatta, an LCYC signature event since 1968.
Our club is also pleased to be connected with the Canyon Lake Sailing Foundation, a non profit organization and registered with the State of Texas as a 501(C)3 corporation. The Foundation's charter is to support youth sailing and water safety. More details can be found on the Youth Sailing page.
Balloon Chase & Ice Cream Freeze
Fire up your balloon scooping skills for the annual LCYC Balloon Chase. Keels boats use nets and must store the inflated balloons in their holds, while board boat sailors retrieve by hand, pop the balloons and save the knots. The course is wherever the wind and water carry the balloons, scooping techniques the key to success with the added incentive of getting back to shore in time for ice cream!
When: Saturday, August 7th
Where: 3:30 PM Skipper's Meeting at the Super Dock

If you think competition at LCYC is limited to "on the water" then guess again. This annual event pits ice cream foodies against one another with the LCYC membership acting as judges to decide who makes the most innovative and best tasting ice cream. What will it be? Coffee Chocolate Chip, Butterfinger, Berrylicious, Tutti Frutti or ????
When: Saturday, August 7th - after the Balloon Chase
Where: LCYC Club House
LCYC will provide a main course for dinner - Members are asked to bring a side dish or salad.
Save room for dessert!!

The McKown Deck is Getting a Roof!
Life will be a lot more comfortable on the McKown Deck this summer. For the past few months, Josef Scherm, Brian Losee and Donny Ahr have been working at implementing the plans designed by Steve Wilson, approved earlier this year by the Board of Governors, for adding a roof to the deck. The design complements the style of the clubhouse and lighthouse, with provision also being made for ceiling fans and lights. The project is nearing completion with the end result being an inviting, shady space for members to gather while escaping the Texas heat.
Roof Photos - many thanks to Bubba Horner and Ray Leubner for providing photos of this project.
Canyon Lake Sailing Foundation
The Canyon Lake Sailing Foundation solicits donations for youth programs promoting water safety and sailing instruction. Our plans for 2010 include an expanded program and we need more lasers and sunfish (from utility grade training boats to higher quality competitive racing boats). The Foundation will accept donations of other boats and equipment for resale and special event auctions on a case by case basis. In addition to donated items, we are making plans to purchase high quality used boats. Your cash donations will help.
All donations (equipment or cash) to the Foundation are tax deductible. If you’d like to make a cash donation, please send it to P.O. Box 18544, San Antonio, TX 78214-0554 made payable to CLSF. Inquiries or offers should be addressed to Don Farrer.
