Welcome to the Chester Yacht Club
Chester Yacht Club (CYC) is a private sailing club situated on beautiful Mahone Bay with excellent access to the best sailing in Canada. CYC is host to Canada’s largest keelboat regatta, Chester Race Week, the much anticipated and highly regarded annual Opti Jam dinghy regatta, and is home to robust and internationally respected IOD and Bluenose fleets. Our objective is to encourage Club members to become more proficient in the personal management, maintenance and handling of their boats; to promote safety, proper navigation and seamanship; to provide social and instructional activities in the interests of all Club members and their guests; and to enhance the sport of sailing within our membership and community.

Long Range Planning Committee New Members of LRPC: August 26 2022 The Feader Cup that is to be sailed on Aug 28 & 29 will be an FFA start instead of two A & B. CYC RO Trish Our annual Chester Race Week is a wrap! Under the direction of our On-Water Chair Pat Nelder and PRO Dan Conrod we ran 77 races for 117 boats! Congrats to all competitors! It was brilliant to have all the competitors and old friends come together again on the water and off. There are so many people and organizations to THANK for making our regatta a success. It takes a community that includes the competitors, race committee and officials, volunteers, our sponsor partners, CYC staff and the Village of Chester. The contribution from all our volunteers was immense! Our regatta event would not be possible without the hard-working and dedicated volunteers whose generosity allows the sailors and spectators alike to come enjoy our regatta. Thank you to all the volunteers who donate their time to Helly Hansen Chester Race Week for on-water operations and on-land operations that make our special event ‘one of the largest keelboat regattas in Canada.’ Our sincerest gratitude and appreciation for all of the volunteer efforts! We look forward to next year! SAVE THE DATE for Helly Hansen Chester Race Week 2023: August 16 – 19!2022 AGM Update
