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.

Thanks as well to Bob and Linda Allen, who were there from start to finish and whose gardening expertise was invaluable. Over the day and a half, we:
Next spring we will add topsoil to level any areas that settle over the winter, plus more gravel for the driveway and overflow lot to control erosion and dust. We are also considering how best to address the area in front of the garage's two large doors. Thanks again for everyone's support. We look forward to seeing you all at the spring porch party on the new lawn. | Upcoming Club Events
