About us
Located at the Landing Reserve in Taupo at the North end of the Lake, LTYC has been serving the sailing community of the Central North Island for over 60 years. We are a family based club with a mixture of centerboard dinghies and trailer yachts. We cater for all levels of sailing ability and our vibrant membership embraces all varieties of yachting.
The beautiful Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest body of fresh water, provides the perfect location for our sailing activities. Our Clubhouse, with its marvellous view over the lake towards Mt Ruapehu and the other peaks of the Tongariro National Park, is the perfect venue for our social activities and your special event.
Our programme
Scheduled sailing for trailer yachts and centreboard sailors commences at 1800hrs during daylight saving. Activities may occur on other days depending on scheduling.
On Monday is there is learn to sail for juniors in optimists from around 3:30pm.

Then on Sundays you see the trailer fleets competing again.
