Past Event

ALBATROSS YACHT CLUB COMMODORE'S BALL

Thank you for attending AYC Annual Commodore’s Ball on Saturday, Feb 4th at the Clinton Township. It was a great success.

History of AYC

Albatross Yacht Club was started in 1972 by a group of sailors who docked along South River Rd on the Clinton River. These sailors decided to start a paper club that would allow them to race and cruise together as a club, and enjoy the benefits of yacht club membership without much overhead expenses, and thus lower dues.

If you’ve ever watched the sailboats on Great Lakes and wished you were on board enjoying the air breezes on beautiful Lake St. Clair, Albatross Yacht Club can make your dreams come true.
