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.

Why to Become a AYC Member

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.
Throughout history sailing has been instrumental in the development of civilization, for it has afforded humanity greater mobility for trade, transport, leisure and overall discovery and adventure.
Whether you are an expert sailor, a beginner or simply curious and want to get in touch with this marvelous sport, Albatross Yacht Club is the place you want to be.
Albatross Yacht Club is a group of passionate people who together enjoy the benefits of being part of a recognized club that caters the needs of boaters through a vast choice of organized events that range from sailing races to social events throughout the whole sailing season.
