Sailboat racing, friends, families, good food and fun.  These are the words which best describe the Berlin Yacht Club Annual Invitational Regatta, and the 2018 BYC Regatta was no exception.  Forty-one sailors from other clubs joined forty-seven BYC members and their families on June 16-17, 2018, at Berlin Lake for a great weekend of sailing, camping and fellowship.  

The Force 5 Midwest Regional Championship was featured in the BYC Regatta this year.  Eight Force 5’s competed on the same course with ten Thistles, twelve Flying Scots, five Highlanders, and six Lasers for a total of 41 boats in all.  PRO Dan Goldberg set a great windward leeward course with a leeward gate and expertly managed three races on Saturday which lasted a total of about three hours.

 

Berlin Yacht Club is a sailing club located in North Benton, Ohio, on beautiful Berlin Lake.  We are a casual, family-friendly organization.  Sailors from all walks of life, ages 8 to 80, participate in activities at Berlin Yacht Club. 

These activities include sailboat races, day sailing, cover dish dinners on Sunday after sailing, open house Discover Sailing Days, Junior Sail Camp, picnics and more. 

A good way to learn how how to sail is to help sail a boat during races at Berlin Yacht Club.  This is called "crewing."  Often members who own a boat ("skipper") need someone crew for them on race day.
