“Hey! That looks like fun!”
Join a group of your Charlestown neighbors that have found a way to socialize, get out in the sunshine and fresh air, and have some very friendly competition – all within walking distance of your apartment.

First formed in 1993, the Black Swan Yacht Club (BSYC) was named in honor of a rare stray black swan that took up residency in Lake Charles. We sail, and race, “Victoria Class” 31-inch radio controlled model sailboats on the lake. And, we have several boats on hand for you to come give it a try with us. We do this in the relatively moderate weather of May and June, and again in September and October . . . and then in January we warm things up a bit with a members’ dinner party to recognize the past year’s winners! We’d love having more members.

Come on board because “It is fun!”
