ABOUT THE CLUB

Pigeon Lake Yacht Club was founded in 1978 to foster good sailing in the area, and to establish a venue for sailors to sail together, both competitively and for fun, as well as to participate in social events. Our fleets consist mostly of keel boats and scows.​

What’s a scow?  Imagine a windsurfer with interior space.  The wide and flat hull of a scow can skim across the water quickly – very quickly, depending on conditions.  Though these boats are quite stable, you may well get wet! The M 16 fleet races every Wednesday evening, but you may occasionally see an A Scow (20 ft) or an E Scow (28 ft) out on the lake.

Keel boats are larger and heavier, and most are meant for comfortable cruising.  Several times a year we race these boats too.  Keelboats are ‘handicapped’ to assure fair competition. The maximum length of a keel boat allowed moorage space for the season is 27 feet.
