The Lake Belton Yacht Club (LBYC) is located on beautiful Lake Belton at Franks Marina, in the heart of Texas just out of Temple and Belton, Texas. Founded in 1974 to promote the sport of sailing in Central Texas, LBYC has become a landmark for yacht racing and community sailing programs in Central Texas as well as the Southwestern region of the US.
Whether you are brand new to sailing or have extensive experience, LBYC offers organized competition for all ages. Activities are organized year round, with racing, cruising, socials, and training. Our youth programs currently include active Sea Scouts and Mariners, and we are currently working with area colleges that are interested in developing a sailing program that would use the LBYC as a resource.

Services
Learn to sail lessons are offered through the LBYC by members who are certified instructors. Once you learn to sail, you will have the ability to join the LBYC Boat Charter Discount Club to take advantage of member discounts on boat charters. Lake Belton provides the finest boating for sailors of all varieties.
A Handicap race enables boats of different designs to race against each other but it is often difficult to know how well your boat is doing compared with the rest of the fleet until nearly the end of the race. In a Pursuit race the slowest boats start first and then the faster boats set off in pursuit with the time delay between classes of boats being determined from their handicaps.
Supporting sailing education and boating safety for youth, adults, active duty and veteran service members.
