The association is dedicated to boating safety through education, to ensure that every sailor learns to sail properly and is able to prove the ability to sail. The heart of the ASA program is a comprehensive set of sailing standards, which are detailed in the ASA Sailing Log Book. 

These performance objectives allows sailors to be evaluated on their sailing knowledge and seamanship skills. But more importantly, through certification to these standards, the ASA provides the individual with a way to prove these abilities to rental and charter fleets throughout the country and around the world.

Detroit Yacht Club

The Detroit Yacht Club, founded in 1868, is the largest and one of the oldest most prestigious private Clubs in North America. The current DYC clubhouse, located on a private island along the banks of the Belle Isle Park in Detroit, is of Mediterranean design and was completed by George Mason in 1922. Mr. Mason also designed the Gem Theater, Masonic Temple and the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.

The Detroit Yacht Club has been the center of Detroit society since opening its doors and continues a proud tradition and a strong commitment to excellence and quality service for all members. Our members and their guests enjoy a first class dining experience, along with an outstanding variety of social and recreational events, athletic, health and fitness services.

Whether your interests are expanding your social activities, making new friends, sailing or power boating, competitive sailing in our Flying Scots’ program, lounging by the Olympic size pool, casual or fine dining, the DYC undeniably has it all. DYC offers singles and families of all ages more amenities and more activities than any other private club or marina on the Great Lakes.

Founded shortly after the Civil War, the Detroit Yacht Club (DYC), housed in the beautifully restored 1920s Mediterranean style villa, continues to be one of the largest yacht clubs in the United States.

The 1920s were golden days for the DYC. Gar Wood brought the club world class attention with his world speed records in a hydroplane and his Gold Cup victories. During the Great Depression, membership at the club severely dropped and some services were discontinued.

By 1946 the Club became debt free and the women of the club formed the first women’s sailing organization in the country and raced the Club’s catboats. During the 1950’s the Grill and River Vista were enlarged, movie equipment was installed in the ballroom so that theater quality films could be shown every Sunday evening and a little later, an outdoor Olympic size pool was added along with Front and West Docks to increase the number of boat wells to over 350.

Today the DYC offers a wide range of activities to ensure there is something for everyone.

Kids have waves of fun at Chicago sailing camp anchored with life lessons

By Sara Machi

June 19, 2024 / 5:29 PM CDT / CBS Chicago

CHICAGO (CBS) —  Tying knots and finding the wind are the fundamentals of any sailing lesson, but in Montrose Harbor this week, a summer camp with a different mission.

Every sail on Lake Michigan starts with a checklist that covers preparations and best practices. At Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club this week, Spectrum Sailing is taking place with three days of the fundamentals with 24 kids.

"They call it the autism spectrum for a reason. Every kid is different," said Scott Herman, Executive Director and Founder of Spectrum Sailing.

A former Chicago resident now living in Charleston, South Carolina, Scott Herman started the program when he couldn't find a sailing school that would admit his now 16-year-old son Daniel.  

"This group is insanely engaged. I had kids come in yesterday, and they had already read books on sailing. They are already teaching me the parts of the boat and the lessons," Herman said.

They have only the wind to take them out of the harbor. Learning how to navigate these waves -- and throwing in some of their own. 

Like the jokes at the beginning of classes, these sessions build confidence and character.

"Give them a chance to come out of their shells a little bit," Herman said.

Lessons they can use as they navigate life.

 "Some of these kids are going to be docking the boat by themselves at the end, and some of these kids may not even drive the boat, but the point is they all have an opportunity to come here and have a chance to do something different, and feeling included and feel part of the team."

One of those kids is 11-year-old Owen McAuliffe, who's already learned four knots before he heads outside.

"I've never been sailing before. So this is going to be a first, and I have always wanted to go sailing," McAuliffe said.

Spectrum sailing can be just the start for some of these students. Organizers said some of their kids join more advanced sailing programs.

When these students leave, in an aptly-named sailing boat called "Awesome." 

The program taught about 350 students across ten cities free of charge, but dozens more were left on the Chicago waitlist. Herman said the goal is to grow the program and donations so no kids are left on the dock.

SAILING BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

detroit yacht club sailing lessons

2023 Sailing Staff will be announced soon.

World-class Facilities

Our number one priority is keeping all sailors well-supervised and safe. We designed our Marine Activity Center with that in mind. As the focal point for all sailing and watersports, sailors spend their days here, with no need to trek back and forth to the Club.

The two-story 2,440-square-foot facility features an area for classroom instruction, flat-screen TVs to view racing footage, equipment storage, restrooms and a water bottle refilling station. Its location at the southeast corner of the harbor allows immediate access to Lake St. Clair. A 24-hour webcam is an extra assurance to parents, allowing them to view on-the-water instruction.

Another perk lies outside the center on floating docks — an impeccably-maintained fleet of boats ready for use. This includes 420s, Lasers, Optimists, J/22s and O’pen BICs. The Club also has powerboats, RIBs and trailers. In fact, GPYC is one of the only clubs in the Detroit Regional Yacht-Racing Association (DRYA) area that supplies boats and equipment as part of its comprehensive sailing program.
