★★★★Lee Anne PotterThis was the original location that housed the Ohio State sailing club. They have since moved to another location on the lake. My parents sailed and raced here while at OSU in the 1950’s. Much of their dating revolved around here, and developed great friendships that continued for decades.
★★★★★gregory meranteGreat place for sailing and enjoying the water!
★★★★★Evelyn “frankandby” BVisited to see options for membership looks to be a well run sailing club with programs for building sailing skills for children. Family membership includes a spot to keep your small boat parked at facility. This club has a history back to 1929 which is impressive. They have a launching ramp and also a hoist to assist in getting launched. The clubhouse looks out on beautiful reservoir with picnic and children's play areas. They have organized socials and one design racing for competition.
★★★★★Christie WhittI put my son in the Learn to Sail summer camp program 21 years ago since he was too old for daycare and as a working mom I wanted to give him a fun summer. He liked it so much he progressed to the racing team. His life became all about sailing, so I then had to take sailing classes myself to have a common interest with him. That progressed to boat ownership and sailboat racing myself - not too bad for an out-of-shape adult lady! Today LYC is a second home. The clubhouse has a large porch that sits right on the water, the Friday night potlucks are so much fun, and Sunday racing is great - both for the sailors racing and for those who just want to sit on the porch and watch. The play area is fun for kids and many a child has grown up at the club. It is a great place to sail, to learn to sail, or to just sit on the porch and watch the boats and enjoy the water and scenery.
★★★★★Curtis HannahNice people, great view from a large porch, efficient boat logistics/launching, excellent opportunities for kids to learn to sail or even become regionally competitive in junior and high school regattas.
