BLACK SWAN YACHT CLUB
Jack Anderson | Tony Matesi
The Black Swan Yacht Club (BSYC) is a group of Charlestown residents interested in sailing radio controlled sailboats at Lake Charles. Sailboat races are held Monday mornings in May, June, September, and October each year.
Established in 1993, the Black Swan Yacht Club (BSYC) was named in honor of the stray black swan that took up residency in Lake Charles. Club members sail and race 31-inch radio controlled model sailboats in the lake. The club has some boats on hand for residents wishing to give sailing a try. Come on board and enjoy the fun!
This social gathering promotes the sport of sailing and racing the 31’’ long “Victoria Class” sail boat on Lake Charles.

Black Swan Yacht Club
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!”
