Bantam Lake Yacht Club (BLYC)

The Bantam Lake Yacht Club, founded in 1933, looks out over a sprawling green lawn at the South Bay of Bantam Lake just south of Litchfield in North Western Connecticut. For almost 100 years, families have enjoyed this close community in which to race small sailboats, socialize, and relax. We race every Sunday afternoon, generally in a mixed fleet, very low-key, with no protests. We also run “around the lake” race July 4th and the French Cup Race over Labor Day. In addition, organized sunfish and windmill regattas are also held each season. Quoted from the BLYC website
