The Sport of Sailing. Sailing is a lifetime sport that is athletic but does not require unusual coordination, size, or strength. Girls and boys participate in lessons and compete in races together. Sailing is social and at the same time rewards individual initiative and learning. Sailing is low-impact and is very safe.
There are four racing one-design classes at EYC, the Optimist dinghy, club 420, Laser, and Flying Scot, and races are held twice a week for each boat type during our racing season. In addition, there are seven regattas, annually. Racing is a great way test and improve one's sailing skills, while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow sailors.
The Flying Scot is a 19' sloop, typically sailed with 2 or 3 onboard. The boat has 10 active racing fleets in the Midwest and four national sanctioned events annually. EYC owns ten Flying Scots, and combined with member's privately owned Scots, is the most competitive fleet at EYC. Use of EYC Flying Scots requires a skipper's license or equivalent.
