Deer Isle Yacht Club
The Deer Isle Yacht Club is a small local yacht club in Sylvester’s Cove, Sunset, Maine. The Club was founded in 1925 to promote small boat sailing and to instruct juniors in this sport of sailing, rules of the road and seamanship. Facilities are minimal as the club has no potable water, no fuel dock, no showers, and little parking. Sailing lessons are offered late-June through early August to members and non-members of all ages and skill levels. Membership is necessarily limited by the size of the Cove; more information can be found at the Membership section of this website. 
Club NewsEmpty the Cove! Planning to party hard at the DIYC Centennial Bash? Then plan to wake up and get out on the water for the Centennial Running of Empty the Cove! The Empty the Cove “Race” was founded 25 years ago by Tom and Eliza Harrison and family as a way of instituting a non-competitive seafaring event for all Club members. Everyone is invited to participate, whether on the water or just for BYO lunch on shore at the dock.
The DIYC is in its Centennial year and the Centennial Committee is planning a celebration worthy of our colorful history. |
