About LHYC

Beautiful Lake Harriet, nestled in South Minneapolis, one of the chain of lakes in the highly acclaimed Minneapolis park system, is the place to be for sailing fun. From the first week in May through mid-September, Lake Harriet Yacht Club (LHYC) sponsors regattas, weekly club sailboat races, Wednesday night races, as well as seminars for sailors of all skill levels.

LHYC also maintains an active social calendar of outings, parties and picnics for families, couples, singles, the young and the young at heart. We’d love to have you as a member.

Lake Harriet Yacht Club is an organization dedicated to the support of sailing and sailboat racing on the lake since 1941.
