Will my beater yacht get me in the club?

This is an amazing place that supports neighborhood schools with many programs. Amazing members!

Best view in the city. Good prices. Drews makes great food.

Best Club by far - great view, perfect patio.

Very low key family friendly fun group! I dont even have a boat and I love hanging out with this group at the yacht club. As members you get invites to fun events. I cant think of a better place to enjoy a low key Saturday afternoon.

We were there for a community meeting. Very accommodating.

Relaxed, friendly atmosphere to park your sailboat. Without a boat? Sit outside and enjoy viewing the sailboats, read a book, sit at one of the tables at the club and make friends with those that sail....explore a new world of peaceful sailing. This Club also conducts holiday parties.......very friendly atmosphere. This is the place to be if you want to make some friends

Fun place. Cool vibe. Dedicated sailors.

Best YC!

The best most normal Yacht Club around

An all volunteer yacht club with great sailboat racing, sailing educational programs and social activities. There are even members whose boats have no sails!

It was open Sunday 12/16. For the Bears game. You have to be a member.

Some of the best views of the city without the downtown crowds. This place is also great for photography class practice.

The owner of drews have banquets and reuses the food he had me reuse food two days in a row . Then he under paid me different from what we agreed . And then his chef asked me to come bk i said hell no .my check had no deductions which is against the law

Nice low key club. Terrific people and great prices on food and drink.

The cheapest place to learn how to sail in Chicago, and believe me I looked. $140, which includes books, materials, all of the classes on a USB drive, gloves, and a pizza party for graduation. Plus theyll set you up with a skipper.

Fun place to hang. Cash bar, clean bathrooms, plenty of sitting room.

Oct. 10, 2013High Seas adventure at Chicago Corinthian Yacht ClubWow, what an adventure!My experience Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club initiated with the sailing classes in late March/early April. The instructors were animate about safety, terminology, navigation, racing and cruising. The class was interactive between instructors and pupils. Sailing magazines were offered as prizes during Q&A sessions. Skippers and crew assisted the instructors with knot making and other topside commands. In fact, Instructors Jim and Joe gave me excellent advice. I was on the fence about cruising or racing. Both insisted racing would be more stimulating. They were right. I love racing sailboats. Sailing classes ended with a social rush. Class members had to rub elbows with skippers to be invited out. Also, as a graduation present West Marine donated sailing gloves to all class members (at $20/pair).I scored a couple invitations on boats; On Edge, Misty Winds and Rainbow’s End. On Edge participated in the JAM fleet. Early May, we were out in two consecutive gales. I loved it so much that I regularly carry Dramamine. A little seasickness shouldn‘t change ones mind about sailing. Surprisingly, we came in first for the JAM fleet twice. Rainbow’s End has a highly competent skipper and crew. The crew is helpful and welcoming. The Skipper is like your varsity coach. He gives you both praise and punch. That’s a good way to learn.Special thanks to Skipper Bill Luksha. The skipper invited me out to my first three day regatta. His boat, Misty Winds is a Catalina with main, jib and spinnaker. The weather for the regatta was rainy, cold and gusty. Skipper’s ruling for the regatta was to forgo the spinnaker and use the jib. Our competitors attempted spinnakers without success. Misty Winds won the Regatta. This was due to the skill of Bill Luksha and the cooperation of the crew.In summary, Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club (CCYC) is an excellent choice to learn how to sail. Recommendations to new crew members. Go out sailing as many times as possible. Practice knots. Study Competent Crew. This is a book the CCYC offers for free. Try different boats and try different skippers. Don’t be afraid of being yelled at. Most significantly, Enjoy.Respectfully;Henry Gardner
