The Pointe-Claire Yacht Club is a yacht club in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada. It is on the shore of Lac Saint-Louis, a widening of the St. Lawrence River on the southern shore of the Island of Montreal. The club promotes racing and hosts regattas run by the provincial organization, Voile Québec.
The club has slips for about 150 boats and dry dock for dozens of others.[1] A municipal lightning detector and alarm is nearby.[2]
Racing programs use Lasers, Optimists, and 420s.[3]
With the motto "sailing is freedom", the Association Québecoise de voile adaptée operates a sailing program for people with mobility impairments, hosted at the PCYC site.[4]
The PCYC has reciprocal arrangements with about 50 other clubs.[5]
