LEHYC is dedicated to getting all members of the family involved with water sports and Little Egg Harbor social events, especially kids!

LEHYC has always had a strong history of youth involvement. In the late 1920s, Edgar S. Nash started the "Skippers," a program designed for boys under seventeen that included activities such as water safety, canoeing, swimming, and sailing. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Leroy Leighton organized "Skipperettes," a similar program for girls.

Today, over one hundred children participate in sailing, tennis, and other activities at Little Egg Harbor each summer. They have their own clubhouse, the Molly Allison, in memory of a Skipperette from the 1960s.

Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club’s highly skilled and respected race committee has twice been awarded US Sailing’s prestigious St. Petersburg Trophy for excellence in race management.

LEHYC is an all volunteer organization, meaning that all of their activities are managed by member-volunteers who enjoy the camaraderie of working together.

Each year, LEHYC hosts a benefit to fund raise for Southern Ocean County Hospital and the Beach Haven Fire and First Aid organizations. LEHYC members are encouraged to attend this event and support local organizations.
