The Deer Isle Yacht Club is a small local yacht club in Sylvester’s Cove, Sunset, Maine. The Club was founded in 1925 to promote small boat sailing and to instruct juniors in this sport of sailing, rules of the road and seamanship. Facilities are minimal as the club has no potable water, no fuel dock, no showers, and little parking. Sailing lessons are offered late-June through early August to members and non-members of all ages and skill levels. Membership is necessarily limited by the size of the Cove; more information can be found at the Membership section of this website. Club NewsSailing Float Decking Replacement A big thank you to everyone who volunteered to replace the decking on one of the sailing floats. What could have taken a couple of people nearly a full day was completed by our team in just 3½ hours, and we estimate the volunteers saved the club approximately $1,000 in labor costs. 8/6/26 Volunteers: Steve, Ohmad, Glenn, Phelps, Greg, and Jack
The second float is scheduled for the week of August 17th, and we need volunteers again. If you can lend a hand, please reach out to Bo Hagler.
Hard to believe, but the season is on its tail end. It has been great having everyone at the Club all summer long. Our last porch party of the season will be on Labor Day weekend, and we hope to see as many of you as possible before we close things out for the year. | Upcoming Club Events
