The Yacthing Club CERN celebrates its 50th anniversary this year

YCC 50th anniversary & Swiss SU Championship 2018, there’s a lot going on in the club!

For those of you that wonder how the YCC operates at CERN the simple answer is that it is made of passionate members that care about the club’s operations. The YCC has reached almost 400 members as of the closing of 2017 and it’s looking forward to bring more members onboard to experience the adrenaline of winds! YCC is not only is the a place to learn how to sail, but it is also a community of international people that gathers during the year through other social events.

There’s nothing better than spending the summer on the lake, learning how to rig and sail a boat, getting to know different people during YCC practices and getting a tan before gathering for a drink in the port! 

When you’re on a boat you need to trust your crew no matter how big it is, especially during strong-wind conditions. It is thanks to this that relationships and friendships begins at YCC, at least this is my personal experience. I had the pleasure to meet exceptional people that are now becoming not only sailing partners, but also friends!

The YCC community is ever-growing and ever-evolving, this year we celebrate the YCC 50th anniversary! It’s been 50 years the club has been founded and boats getting out of Versoix port populating the lake all summer long. The committee is planning several events to celebrate and advertise it!

In order to share this great news there will be a brand new logo for the YCC designed by one of the members! Stay tuned for the reveal!

One of the most important events in the radar is the 2018 Swiss SU Championship that will be organized by the YCC in collaboration with CNV (club Nautique d Versoix). This is the utmost event for all SU categories across Switzerland. There’s a strong team at YCC taking care of the organization of the championship that will be commencing on the 07th of July. The YCC will not only ensure the championship is organized with attention to details, but it will also participate with few SU boats! All the YCC members are welcome to take part.

We hope you’re looking forward the beginning of the season, for those that are missing the lake already there are few winter regattas coming up (SU, J) – in the external regattas section of the website), don’t hesitate to signup and participate!
