CYC Facilities

Clubhouse & Bathhouse - The clubhouse facilities serve as venues for a variety of social, educational, recreational, and competitive events throughout the year. In addition to an expansive terrace overlooking Fort Loudoun Lake, the Clubhouse features full kitchen facilities, a banquet room, and a library/meeting room. Men’s and women’s shower rooms are connected to the clubhouse by a breezeway.

Grounds - The grounds contain several picnic pavilions, a playground, and a sandy beach area for swimming and playing.

The Harbor - The Harbor’s three floating dock systems are fully supplied with water, with the exception of winter, and 15amp power for year round docking. To support Clean Marina Practices, CYC maintains a dock mounted Peristaltic Pump-Out Station for boat sewage waste disposal. Additional boat storage options include parking areas for trailered boats, summer-only slips, moorings, on-the-water racks for small dinghys, and winter storage. Specialized equipment is available to launch and maintain a range of sailboat sizes including a hand-launch platform for small dinghies, boat ramps and a boat lift for trailered vessels, and a larger marine railway for fixed-keel boats.

CYC hosts several member and open regattas throughout the year. Notices of Race (NOR), Sailing Instructions (SI), and regatta results are always posted here on this site. A handicap form is required for all new keelboats.
