Fresno Yacht
Club History
In 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.
In
1959 the Lake Millerton Sailing Association was
dissolved and the Fresno Yacht Club (FYC) was formed
with a membership of over 100. Today, the club is
made up of primarily keel type boats, with the PHRF
and San Juan 21 Fleets being the largest.
Our
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.
Fresno Yacht Club is always open to and seeking new
members who would like to join us in the sport we so
dearly love!
