Description

AYC is located on 35 acres of lakefront property on the shore of Lake Travis, in the heart of the Texas hill country yet only 30 minutes from downtown Austin.

Activities are organized year round, with racing of some kind almost every weekend and many weekday nights during the summer months.

The club supports local high school sailing teams and hosts the University of Texas sailing team.

The club also offers on-the-water and classroom-based training for members and non-members, including a kids' summer camp.

Facilities include docks in two sheltered coves with slips for 160 boats up to 30' in length, and up to 76 board boats stored on the docks for easy launch access. In addition there are over 200 parking spaces on the grounds for trailered boats, with two launch ramps that are usable over a wide range of lake levels.

The grounds also feature two mast-stepping cranes and a members' work area for boat maintenance and repair. The work area has a hoist capable of lifting boats up to 30'.

There are five cabins and seven screened camp shelters on site which may be rented by members and their guests. The cabins are winterized, air-conditioned, and have kitchen facilities. A limited number of RV hookups and camp sites are also available. There are also numerous picnic tables and BBQ facilities scattered around the grounds.

The clubhouse overlooks the lake and swimming pool and can accommodate several hundred people for parties and social events. The immediate clubhouse area is also served by WiFi high speed Internet access.
