Steirischer Yachtclub Grundlsee
The Styrian Yacht Club Grundlsee (StYC) is the yacht club on Lake Grundlsee, known as the Styrian Sea, in Styria, Austria. The club maintains grounds with jetties, a crane and slip facilities and organises regular spring commissioning and autumn lay-up work parties. The racing programme includes club events such as the StYC Cup and the club championship as well as guest regattas such as the Green Panther Cup in the ILCA and Optimist classes. Children and young people can start sailing through the annual Optimist course for ages 7 to 14. In 2024 the StYC celebrated its 70th anniversary and remains an active hub of the Aussee sailing community.
History
The Styrian Yacht Club Grundlsee (StYC) looks back on a long club tradition on Lake Grundlsee. On 20 July 2024 the club celebrated its 70th anniversary with members, friends and guests; the Aussee regional television also reported on the jubilee. The club fosters active community life with joint work parties to winterise and re-commission jetties, crane and other club facilities, as well as annual general meetings, for example at Gasthof Stöckl. Sportingly, club series such as the StYC Cup, the club championship, the Backenstein Trophy and the Gössl Cup shape the season; the Styrian Sailing Association also hosts the Green Panther Cup at Grundlsee. Racing fleets include Soling crews as well as ILCA and H-Boat sailors. Youth development centres on the Optimist course for children aged 7 to 14. Key figures of Styrian sailing such as Fritz Stangl and Günther Dämon were closely linked to the club. Today the StYC presents itself as the yacht club on the Styrian Sea with a continuous regatta and youth programme.
