The Gull Lake Yacht Club (GLYC) is a private, volunteer run, non-profit organization located on the eastern shores of Gull Lake near Brainerd, Minnesota. The club, founded in 1947, has long been a hub of sailing and social activity on Gull Lake.
GLYC hosts a variety of social mixers and parties throughout the year. The separate non-profit Gull Lake Sailing School operates from the GLYC facilities with instructors who teach to all ages and a variety of skill levels. The club activities are planned for the diverse interests of our membership. We, of course, offer sailing events, but also golf, bridge, a family fun day and several other opportunities to socialize.
The largest sailing event that we have the honor of hosting in the 2009 season is the ILYA X Championship that is scheduled for July 22nd - 25th. This will be an incredible event that we have been planning and preparing for more than a year from the date of the event. The 49th Annual Fun Regatta, which will be held on August 8th - 9th will be another large event to look forward to. Last years 48th Annual Fun Regatta, which was held on August 1-3, 2008 was a great success and everyone involved had a wonderful time. (Learn about 2008 regatta race results). It's an incredible year that is exciting and extremely active.
2009 is becoming a very exciting year for GLYC - with the construction of our new clubhouse building and our special honor of hosting the 2009 ILYA X Championship Race. As always we have many plans that will continue to bring fun and excitement for our members. Please explore our website to learn more about the Gull Lake Yacht Club, Sailing School and Family Center.
