Wayzata Yacht Club

Wayzata Yacht Club is a member-operated sailboat racing club on Wayzata Bay in Wayzata. Its waterfront at 1100 Eastman Lane is a gathering place for keelboat crews and sailors who return for the race season.

Joining the sailing community

The club's emphasis is racing and the teamwork that comes with it. One-design fleets bring similar boats together, while other racing opportunities accommodate different keelboats. The evening race scene is a familiar part of summer on the Lower Lake.

You do not need to start by buying a sailboat. The club's crew connections help prospective sailors meet skippers looking for people to sail with them. Ask about experience expectations and the time commitment before joining a crew.
