About LMSC

We are a private, family-oriented sailing club of boat owners with excellent facilities on the shores of one of the finest sailing lakes in the Southeast. Two large lake basins and miles of coves are easily accessible from the club's location near Chapin, SC. The club occupies a pristine rural setting on seven acres and maintains the character of the region with beaches, pine shaded drives and grassy knolls.


Lake Murray Sailing Club welcomes sailors, of all ages in boats from single-person dinghies to 30 footers. We are home to two active one design fleets featuring the the comfortable, family friendly, competitive Flying Scot and the high performance MC Scow. These nationally popular designs form the largest, most active one design fleets on Lake Murray.


We invite you to browse our web site so that you gain some idea of the sailing, social, and community activities that define the character of our organization.

Founded in the winter of 1969 by a group sailing out of a local commercial marina Lake Murray Sailing Club purchased its current property in 1971. The first clubhouse was completed in 1974. In 1988, the original clubhouse was replaced with the current modern facility designed to maintain the rural character of the grounds.


Facilities include two deep water launch ramps, 58 slips, and parking areas for more than 100 boats. Its grounds feature a large, grassy lakefront for picnicking and swimming. The clubhouse is available to members for group functions and business meetings.


Our club promotes sailing through an active racing schedule, cruising events, and learning programs. We offer Sailing for Fun, a First Sail experience accessible to non-members in our community. For LMSC members desiring to learn to sail or improve sailing skills, we offer a robust mentoring and coaching program operated by experienced member volunteers.
