Welcome to the Wawasee Yacht Club

The Wawasee Yacht Club (est. 1935) is located in Northern Indiana on the state's largest natural lake. Lake Wawasee boasts a surface area of over 3,000 acres and some of the best inland sailing in the region. During the Summer months, WYC is home to four competitive one-design fleets, an acclaimed junior sailing program, and a number of premier regattas and social events for its members.

Our mission is to foster, promote, and encourage the sport of sailboat racing, and to promote the science of seamanship.

If you are interested in learning more or joining the club, we have a variety of membership options:
