DESCRIPTION
Year club founded: 1946
Year club joined SCYA: 1977
History: September 1945, a group of sailing enthusiasts, with boats on the recently formed Lake Millerton, organized into a sailing club. On October of that same year, the Lake Millerton Sailing Association was born with 22 charter members. 1959 the Lake Millerton Sailing Association was dissolved and the Fresno Yacht Club (FYC) was formed with a membership of over 100.
Sailing: Our main sailing venues, Millerton Lake and Huntington Lake, are man-made lakes located about 20 minutes and 90 minutes N.E. of Fresno, CA, respectively. Racing takes place on Millerton year round, while racing at Huntington Lake in the High Sierras is restricted to summer only.
Membership: Fresno Yacht Club is always open to and seeking new members who would like to join us.
Boats: The club is made up of primarily keel type boats, with the Victory 21, PHRF and San Juan 21 Fleets being the largest.
