The Chicago Yacht Club is a sailing club based in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, founded in 1875 to encourage and promote the sport of yachting. It maintains two clubhouses, one at Monroe Harbor and one at Belmont Harbor, the second of which hosts its one-design sailing fleet and a sailing school. The club is best known as the organising authority for the Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac, first sailed in 1898 and held each July, and it also runs dozens of other sailboat races and regattas through a boating season that normally runs from May to October. In 1920 the Lincoln Park Yacht Club merged into it, and in 1987 the club entered the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger series for the America's Cup with the boat Heart of America.
