The second weekend of races of the clubs “Spring” Race Series took place last Saturday April 20 under cloudy sky’s and winds in the mid teens with gusts up to 23 knots. There were two Winward-Leeward Course races set by race captain Craig Morgan (buoys I-D & back – see website tab Activities/Racing/Race Course for lake locations). Both races were won by Captain Tom Rawlings & crew on a J22. The second place finisher was Lance Hornbeck & crew sailing in a Clipper Marine 32. The final weekend of the Spring race series will be this Saturday April 27th. Call or email to the clubs information listed below if you want to join in either to race with your boat, join as crew or just observe and hang out.

If interested in experiencing the invigorating joy of sailing join up with the club on Friday afternoons for casual cruising sails – generally two or more keel boats go out – leave a message on the clubs voice mail and we will get back with you on times and launch site.

 

Let’s Sail Together

The Lake Belton Yacht Club (LBYC) is located on beautiful Lake Belton at Franks Marina in Belton, Texas (between Temple and Killeen). Founded in 1974 to promote the sport of sailing in Central Texas, LBYC has become a landmark for yacht racing and community sailing programs in Central Texas as well as the Southwestern region of the US. Whether you are brand new to sailing or have extensive experience, LBYC offers organized competition for all ages. Activities are organized year round, with racing, cruising, socials, and training.  

Our youth programs currently include active Sea Scouts and Mariners, and we are currently working with area colleges that are interested in developing a sailing program that would use the LBYC as a resource. We are always interested in expanding our youth programs.
