A decades long struggle came to an end last week when the United States Army Corps of Engineers announced to a crowded Deerfield town hall that Berlin Lake will be kept at summer pool levels through Labor Day, as long as water is available.

“Through this document, we have the opportunity to recenter our focus for Olympic sailing on the areas of greatest importance with a clear goal in mind. This will help the class associations and MNAs to prioritise specific areas, work towards the targets and incorporate the guidance into their own strategies over the next eight years and beyond.”

The 5-foot-2 powerhouse placed second out of 16 sailors who competed in the Global Solo Challenge, a circumnavigation race that started in A Coruña, Spain, with participants from 10 countries.

Summer at Berlin Lake brings a world of sailing adventures for enthusiasts of all levels. The sparkling waters and gentle breezes offer the perfect conditions for leisurely cruises, thrilling races, and tranquil sunset sails. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a novice eager to learn, our club's summer schedule is brimming with exciting events, from weekend regattas to hands-on sailing workshops.

The Berlin Yacht Club is excited to announce the array of upgrades and improvements planned for the upcoming year.
