Eagle Creek Sailing Club

Guest Sailors

Guest sailors are always welcome at our Club

If you are coming to our Club for a scheduled regatta, here are some pointers for your help:


1. Camping is acceptable in our grassy area near our lower shelter (see pics below). A fire pit is there as well as a shelter from adverse weather.

2. We keep about a dozen open docking slips for short-term guests. These are located in the pic above left.

3. Indoor restrooms are open 24/7 in our upper shelterhouse complete with showers. Drink, snack machines, and telephone are also there as well.

4. We try to keep the entry gate to our Club locked after dark. If you’re planning a late entry, it’s recommended you make prior arrangements to assure entry…as well as exit (you could be locked in).

5. The launching ramp is centrally located in our parking area. We have crane boat launch as well. A mast pole is also available.

6. Our Club is located at the end of a long cove off the southwest side of Eagle Creek Reservoir...and hence fairly well protected from stronger winds and waves. However, you might need help in traversing this cove in lighter wind when trying to get to the main lake body for the racing (motor, tow, etc).

7. We will have pontoon boats and a whaler used for race control…utilizing marine channel 68.

8. We usually have Club apparel available for purchase at our scheduled regattas.

9. Wireless Internet access is available in our Upper Shelter (SSID: BobsWireless).

10. Pizzas can be delivered to the Club at certain hours from nearby Chicago’s Pizza, 317-299-3990.

11. For GPS settings, use our club street address: 8901 West 46th, Indy

12. E-Mail contact for info: Evan at Evanwi@yahoo.com

Guest sailors coming to our Club for non-scheduled events should check-in with someone first. We do have the normal reciprocity for I-LYA member clubs and just about all US Sailing clubs…but we would like to know of your arrival to help with your stay.

Non-reciprocity visitors must be a guest of a member. Our facilities are for use by our members only and invited guests.

Please enjoy your stay and comments are always welcome for improvements.
