Welcome to Pontiac Yacht Club

Pontiac Yacht Club was chartered in 1934 as a family club, exclusively for sailboats.  We are based on the shores Cass Lake, in Pontiac, Michigan with a beautful lake-side club house and well kept grounds that are popular with all ages.

 

The club has an active membership that are involved in sailing for pleasure and competition, with a racing program that has over 70 races scheduled each season.  Lightning Class sailboats were chosen to represent the club because of their strong class organization and suitability to Cass Lake.  Our Lightning Fleet, No. 54, is the largest in the world with over 60 registered Lightnings.  There is also a competitive open-class single hander series (mostly made up of Lasers, Sunfish and Windsurfs).  

  

Today, the fine facilities, excellent racing program, and frequent club activities combine to offer a wholesome family experience.  The beautiful shady swimming beach with shallow clear water is available for small children and non-swimmers, as well as a designated deep water area for more experienced swimmers. Our shaded grounds with many picnic tables, lawn chairs, and grills make club picnics an enjoyable experience. And the large sandbox, swings, and climbing equipment help children feel welcome at the club.

 

A range of instructional programs are offered to both adults and children, and the atmosphere is friendly and informal.  This year, 2009, marks the 75th Anniversary of Pontiac Yacht Club, and there will be a series of events throughout the year as the club celebrates this achievment.  New members are always welcome.
