Promoting the sport of sailing on Lake Travis since 1951
AYC is located on 35 acres of lakefront property on the shore of Lake Travis, in the heart of the Texas hill country yet only 30 minutes from downtown Austin.
Activities are organized year round, with racing of some kind almost every weekend and many weekday nights during the summer months.
The club supports local high school sailing teams and hosts the University of Texas sailing team.
The club also offers on-the-water and classroom-based training for members and non-members, including a kids' summer camp.

A number of you have reached out to the Board and me regarding two Facilities Usage Requests (FURs) for non-AYC events that were approved at the May Board meeting. One of these FURs approved a wedding for long-time Club members and the other approved an anniversary party. Both events were approved for the weekend of October 9 - 10 and are for non-exclusive use of portions of the facility. The Board, after reviewing the FURs and considering the sponsors, made the decision that these events warranted making an exception to the House Rules which is within the authority of the Board to do. Many of you have made your feelings known to the Board that you did not favor the approval of these non-AYC events. I believe that the Board will take this feedback into account for future FURs but these two events are approved and I ask that everyone work cooperatively during that weekend to avoid conflicts.
