Ludington Yacht Club sponsors the 2013 Queen’s Cup Finish

26 Dec

Ludington Yacht Club is the proud sponsor of the finish of the Shore Shore Yacht Club’s 2013 Queen’s Cup sailboat race. This race starts near Milwaukee late Friday afternoon, June 28th, 2013, and will finish about one mile off the Ludington harbor entrance. End of race activities in Ludington will include docking space for the race boats, an entertainment tent that will feature live music, drinks, and food located at Water Front Park. Water Front Park is near the docks, and an easy walk from the downtown City of Ludington.

Ludington Harbor has much to offer Queen’s Cup race boats and crews. The harbor is a commercial deep water harbor that will easily provide room for docking any Queen’s Cup race boat.

Race finish activities will be centered at the City of Ludingon’s Water Front Park. The race boats will be docked at the City of Ludington’s Marina, nearby Harbor View Marina, off the harbor wall adjacent to Water Front Park, or Ludinton Yacht Club docks.

LYC now owns the club property!

26 Dec

As of Friday, December 14th at 10:00 a.m. our membership became the proud owner of the LYC building and grounds!  

The pursuit of this goal was first started around 1992 by a few of our members. Twenty years later we have finally accomplished what those far sighted members started. The land that we purchased can be seen on the survey drawing posted on the wall in the club. 

This latest successful effort with the PerePointeVillage owners was achieved with the help of Dale Fitch, Les Kaines, Denny Lavis, Steve Miller, and Gary Ferguson, Commodore. This group met many times and we were unanimous in all our decisions. It was a pleasure to be part of that group. 

We now have secure ownership that allows us to hand this property off to future members. If anyone has questions they can call me or any of the four members listed above. 

Thanks for all the support we received from the general membership as we went through this process. Congratulations!
