Grosse Pointe Yacht Club's Junior Sailors are on the water all year round.

Fall, Winter & Spring

In the Fall and Spring, the club hosts the Grosse Pointe South, Grosse Pointe North and University Liggett School High School, Brother Rice and De-Lasalle teams. Practice takes place during the week to prepare for JV and Varsity regattas on the weekends. Schools training at GPYC are regular competitors in the Midwest Championships as well as the High School Nationals in Team Racing and Fleet Racing.

During this time, we also will host an Optimist training program for advanced racing and Green Fleet. Practices run on the weekends with the kids having an opportunity to compete several times a season and participating in specialized clinics.

During the winter, our sailors travel to warmer climates for midwinter events in the C420, Laser, and Optimist Fleets.

Summer

Summer is the busiest time of year for us, with instruction starting at age 7 with learn to sail and running all the way through advanced racing at 18. These programs are designed to provide something for all levels of sailor.

Are you interested in helping your child to join this great team or finding out more about the programs?
