The Great Salt Lake Yacht Club - Magna, Utah USA - Sailing and Yacht Clubs on Waymarking.com

The Great Salt Lake Yacht Club was originally established on May 10, 1877 with Captain David Lazarus Davis as Commodore. Members included all crew of the vessels: "Waterwitch", "Petrel", "Mary Askey", and an unnamed boat belonging to a Mr. Hudson.

The Marina is open to visitors between sunrise and sunset all year round. A State Park Ranger is there at those times. There is a boat ramp but no lift (check out the bulletin boards at the marina and the GSLYC website's main page for crane days). The marina has 300 slips and is available for year-round boating on the lake that never freezes.
