Originally founded in 1890, and sited around 1/4 mile to the East of the picturesque old town of Leigh, the EYC is a family club and is particularly proud of its Cadet section, with over 100 cadets. An extensive sailing program is run from Easter to October, with races and events that cater for beginners in Optimists through to Asymetrics and Cruisers. Members can store their boats on Club moorings or our own boat racks, adjacent to the clubhouse. There are numerous social events throughout the year, from formal dinners to summer barbeques, providing entertainment for sailing and non-sailing members.
