A Message From Commodore Doug Galloway:
Welcome to the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club Web Site. LEHYC is located in Beach Haven on the beautiful coast of New Jersey, USA. Founded in 1912, the club promotes yachting and other outdoor sports, social events and friendship. LEHYC has a very active sailing program. Children start in our junior sailing program at age 7, learning and competing in the Optimist Dinghy. Our sailors compete in local, regional, national and international regattas. As they grow older they move up to Lasers and Club 420s. LEHYC conducts weekly senior racing in E-Scows, Marshall Sanderling Catboats, Lightnings, M-Scows and Lasers. We host several regattas every summer; the annual Down Bay Invitational in August is the high point of the regatta season. The Barclay Cup team race held annually since 1928, currently in Optis, is the oldest active sailing trophy in the state of New Jersey. Blessed with the finest protected sailing waters, LEHYC has hosted many regional, national and international regattas including US Sailing Mallory, Adams and O’Day trophies. Our highly skilled and respected race committee has twice been awarded US Sailing’s prestigious St. Petersburg Trophy for excellence in race management. An extensive tennis program is conducted on our six hard surface courts, including local and interclub competition and instruction by a staff of experienced professionals. Tennis events include Ladies Round Robin, parent-child and mixed doubles. The tennis program culminates in club championships for men’s and ladies singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. Tennis is also an integral part of our junior sailing program with instruction and competition scheduled several days a week. Little Egg also has an active group of fishermen who compete locally and nationally, and a bocce group which is quite active. Also on the summer calendar are an art group, bridge, book club, exercise classes, a pre-sailing program, Scrambled Eggs, for 5-7 year olds, a Junior Yacht Club for teens, happy hours, dinner-dances, family cookouts, and sunset sails. LEHYC takes pride in being an all volunteer organization, our activities are all managed by member-volunteers who enjoy the camaraderie of working together. The club also gives back to the community through an annual Benefit Happy Hour supporting the Fire Department, First Aid Squad, and Southern Ocean County Hospital and by supporting the local efforts to save Mordecai Island. Please explore our Web Site to learn more about our history and the many activities offered at LEHYC. If you have any questions about LEHYC or wish additional information, please send us an email at admin@lehyc.org or call at (609) 492-2529.
Thank you.
