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 with the purpose of providing facilities and activities for its members in their use of Penobscot Bay and adjacent waters; encouraging amateur yachting, both recreational and competitive; promoting sound seamanship; and fostering knowledge of and respect for the dangers of the sea. Facilities are minimal as the club has no potable water, no fuel dock, no showers, and little parking. Sailing lessons for members are occasionally offered, but Membership is necessarily limited by the size of the Cove; more information can be found at the Membership section of this website. 
Club News Bullseye Championship Series The Deer Isle Yacht Club has a long history of small boat racing, starting with Wee Scots in the 1920s. Our club continues this racing tradition each August, and this year the race will be held on August 2nd and 3rd.
Save the date for the Eagle Island Light Open House on Sunday, August 11th, from 12–3pm. The team has been working hard to restore the interior stairs and ceilings, thanks in part to many generous donors. Come climb the classic wrought iron staircase and enjoy sweeping views of Penobscot Bay.
Now that summer is in full swing, we don’t want to forget the hard work that goes into getting the Cove ready for a safe season. |
