Eagle Harbour Yacht Club (EHYC) began its Junior Club in 1992. Over the past twenty years, young sailors have enjoyed the many benefits of membership, while continuing to improve their sailing skills.

The Junior Club provides a fun and friendly environment for young sailors of ten years or older who are looking for more than the regular summer lessons. Many students of EHYC’s summer sailing program have joined as Junior Members of the club in order to keep sailing throughout the year.

A Junior Executive is elected each year , and works together with an adult Junior Coordinator and the Sailing Director to organize club events.  Racing at regattas takes place through the North Shore Sailing Team.  EHYC’s Junior Club is focused on social functions and recreational sailing.
