Even with the economic downturn, time marches and we continue to invest in our club to keep it safe, fun and top operational form. Since the fall of last year, the board has made needed repairs and improvements at the club. Here is a list of the major projects completed and underway:

B Dock is scheduled to be repaired and resurfaced this fall/winter and when the project is finished, it will have the same type of surface as A Dock. Dock boxes will be removed as part of this process. Please check your dock boxes to make this work as easy as possible and to protect material you store in your dock box.

 

Additional dolphin pilings were installed on the east and north facing breakwater in August. This work secures the breakwater, which was buckling badly prior to this fix.

history

Panhandle Yacht Club (PYC) was founded in 1978 by a few individuals who had a dream to build a private marina that would be family oriented, be of reasonable cost, and that would provide amenities not found at other marinas on Lake Coeur d' Alene. Over the years the facility has continued to improve through the dedicated efforts of it's members. Many hours and some personal expenses have been donated to update and provide for the members and their guests.

sailing

Every summer evening, just after the sun sets over Lake Coeur d’Alene the Wolf Lodge Express gathers steam in an eastern bay and hurtles west across the water. The Express—a land breeze that forms when the land cools in the evenings, the warm lake water pulls the breeze in from the east. It is very predictable, and a fun time to sail.
