Lotawana Sailing
Lake Lotawana is home to competitive fleets of C Scows, MC’s, and Butterflies. Weekends find the water busy with C and MC boats, while the social Butterflies take to the lake on Wednesday mornings. We offer a children’s program during the summer too.
A big part of Lotawana Sailing is introducing new sailors to the thrill of the sport — everyone is welcome, from first-timers to seasoned racers sharing stories in the Sailor’s Bar at the Club.
Spencer Brackman, a former Commodore and lifelong lake resident, is our current chairperson for MYC Sailing. Questions? sailing@missouriyachtclub.com
