Focus on Oswego Yacht Club
Located at the International Marina in the Port of Oswego, the Oswego Yacht Club (OYC) was founded in 1881 by a prominent local businessman and banker, John T. Mott. It is one of the oldest yacht clubs on Lake Ontario celebrating its 125th
anniversarythe summer of 2006. In 1884 Oswego Yacht Club, under the leadership of John T. Mott, became one of the four founding clubs of the Lake Yacht Racing Association (LYRA). This is the first time since 1928 that OYC has hosted a LYRA Regatta and the Club is looking forward to an exciting week of racing.
Conveniently located just inside the harbor entrance on a pier west of the mouth of the Oswego River, OYC offers deep water docking (over 10’). During the LYRA regatta, boats will be either rafted at the club dock or at the permanent dock at the north end of the marina.

Amenities at the International Marina and Wrights Landing (next door) include restrooms, showers and pump out facilities. A gas dock and video phone for checking into US Customs is located at the Oswego Marina just up the river on the east side. Plenty of parking will be available just outside the marina entrance and space for trailers is located a short distance away. When not sailing, participants can walk to downtown Oswego, only four blocks away.
