Welcome
Minimize

Welcome to the Apostle Islands Station of the Wayzata Yacht Club, on the shores of Lake Superior, in Bayfield, Wisconsin.  The WYC is committed to the promotion of sailboat racing competition! The AIS extends this commitment with a comprehensive racing schedule, excellent race management, and testing conditions on the greatest of the Great Lakes.

The schedule comprises more than 20 races over: Memorial Day, Bayfield Race Week (around 4th July), Labor Day, and a final weekend in late September.   In addition, there are offshore races, including the legendary Trans Superior.  Competitive racing is assured, as the yachts from 35' to 53' use LMPHRF (Lake Michigan Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) ratings. Courses are a combination of Windward/Leeward, medium distance, and point-to-point, so there is something for everyone.

Crew opportunities are always available, at all levels of experience from novice beginner, to experienced sea-dog, and everything in between.  Check out the fleet page.  The fleet captain can connect you with skippers looking for crew.


Our Playground

Bayfield is located on the South Shore of Lake Superior, just 4-1/2 hours from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St.Paul.  The Apostle Islands are sometimes referred to as Jewels of Lake Superior - Along windswept beaches and cliffs, visitors experience where water meets land and sky, culture meets culture, and past meets present. The 21 islands and 12 miles of mainland host a unique blend of cultural and natural resources.  Lighthouses shine over Lake Superior and the new wilderness areas.


Social Scene
Minimize

After a hard day on the water, you can imagine the need for refreshment! Fortunately the AIS has a vibrant social scene. It is the perfect opportunity for sailors to "hydrate" and tell tall stories, and for non-sailing family members to be part of the fun. Post race festivities include: Bayfield Inn and the other two points of the Bayfield Triangle (Morty’s and the Rum Line).  Bayfield offers many unique dining experiences.  And, of course, Lake Superior makes a perfect backdrop for any dock-side barbeque or house party at any time during the season.
