Welcome to
Lake Mission Viejo Yacht Club
Lake Mission Viejo Yacht Club is located at a private lake and is a part of the Lake Mission Viejo Association. Membership is open to all members of the Lake Association. In the true sense of Corinthian Sailing, our goal at LMVYC is to promote sailing, to encourage good fellowship among yachtsmen afloat and ashore, and to introduce non-boat-owning sailors, young and old, to the sport of sailing.
Our fleet championship series of Regattas are held from March through November. In addition, we host additional special regattas, such as our “Women at the Helm” and “Top Skipper” regattas each year. Other sailing opportunities exist throughout the year including informal “pick up” races on Wednesday evenings during the months of Daylight Savings Time. Also, during the months of July and August, we have summer “raft ups” followed by BYO-BBQs
LMVYC Junior Sailing Team
Junior sailing activities in the club were low key and informal for a number of years, nevertheless, some fine sailors developed and went on to sail for sailing teams at MIT, UCI and Stanford. Then in 2008 a Sabot was donated to the club and two others were purchased at bargain prices that year. Next, an abandoned Sabot and a donated Sabot were extensively repaired and restored to top condition. The club now has a fleet of eight race rigged Sabots available to train new juniors. Four Lasers are also available for day sailing and racing.
Catalina C14.2-K boats are used by the junior sailing team to gain experience in double and triple handed sailing. There are four Club owned Balboa 13s and four CFJs that are available to older junior sailing team members to sharpen their competitive racing skills.
LMVYC junior sailors have distinguished themselves in recent years at competitive sailing events on and off of the lake as regatta winners, series champs and high school sailing team captains.
Participation in the Junior Sailing Team is open to members of LMVYC who 8 to 16 years of age are. Knowing how to swim is a prerequisite. Program goals are to introduce team members to the fun of competitive sailing and advance their sailing skills in a safe environment.
