Sailing

At the Avalon Yacht Club, sailing is more than a pastime - it’s a cherished tradition.

From competitive adult regattas to our longstanding junior sailing program, AYC fosters friendships, camaraderie, and a lifelong love of the sea.

Avalon Yacht Club offers a variety of sailing events and racing series for adults and juniors.

We sail a range of boats including the Optimist, Sunfish, Laser,

AYC junior sailors are introduced to competitive sailing and the Rules of Racing as part of the instruction in the Junior Sailing Program.

Sailors interested in racing are encouraged to compete in the AYC weekend regattas, to join the AYC Racing Team that travels weekly to interclub regattas within the Mid-Atlantic Yacht Racing Association, and even to participate in other regional and national sailing events.

JUNIOR SAILING

The Avalon Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program has been a proud Club tradition since the 1950s, introducing generations of young sailors to the water while building teamwork, confidence, and lifelong friendships.

Each session concludes with Family Day and Family Night, our signature sailing and awards banquets celebrating the season’s achievements.
