Deer Isle Yacht Club
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 Thank you to all the volunteers who made quick work of completing the second sailing float this morning. A special thanks to Steve Knowlton for his construction expertise and for serving as our site foreman. Thanks also to the Kydds for again allowing us to use their burn pile to dispose of the old decking. Thanks to the volunteer labor and avoided disposal costs, replacing the decking on both sailing floats came in approximately $3,000 under budget.
Our next volunteer opportunity is September 8 for the property reconfiguration project. More to come :)
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
