GTYC Demolition and Reconstruction

GTYC Demolition and Reconstruction – Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2008 – Demolition of the charred remains of the Grand Traverse Yacht Club, located in Greilickville on the NW side of Traverse City, has begun and should be wrapped up by Wednesday.

Construction of the new Clubhouse will begin shortly. The April 16^th fire, whipped by 35+ knot winds, raced through the roof structure, but left much of the memorabilia and pictures untouched, except for minor smoke and water damage. The rendering shows the proposed design which will be built on the same footprint. The old lawn mower factory served the membership well for 42 years and many of the memories will be preserved with the memorabilia and pictures.

          GTYC is primarily a small boat sailing club with strong Laser, Interlake, and PHRF Handicap fleets. The membership includes sail, power, and even some non-boaters and in addition to racing, has a strong cruising group. The Club is open year-round on Wednesday and Friday evenings and regatta weekends. For more information, visit www.gtyc.org.
