CHIPPEWA YACHT CLUB
BECOMING A MEMBER
From our convenient and private waterfront location on Chippewa Lake, our rustic clubhouse and shaded grounds offer a great place to relax and unwind. We offer affordable recreation at a variety of different membership levels. Owning a sailboat, although strongly encouraged, is not necessary for membership. CYC welcomes small boat sailors of all skill levels as well as non-sailors.
If you are considering membership, please contact us to set up a tour, or stop by any Sunday afternoon in the summer months. Membership applications require the sponsorship of two members in good standing of the club. Membership is granted by a majority of the voting members. There is a one-time initiation fee of $50 required when submitting an application. All fees listed are due annually and have applicable sales tax added (2023 fees listed).
