Minneapolis Sailing Center

The Minneapolis Sailing Center, formerly known as the Calhoun Yacht Club, was organized on August 10, 1901. The purpose of the club was to promote yacht racing, iceboating, canoe racing, tennis, and social events. Due to the popularity of sailing and an interest in serving the community, several CYC members formed the Lake Calhoun Sailing School in 1989 (now the Minneapolis Sailing Center.)  The Minneapolis Sailing Center grew from a small program with just a handful of boats to the vibrant sailing community it is today. In 2020, the Calhoun Yacht Club voted to become part of the Minneapolis Sailing Center.
