WELCOME
Cherokee Lake Sailing Club
When people think about sailboats, their minds jump to tropical, Caribbean locations with crystal blue water and coconut trees. Perhaps some think of pirate voyages on the high seas. However, few people are aware that some of the best sailing within a 100-mile radius of our area is right in our backdoor. In addition, there is a sailing club located in Jefferson City, TN, that is celebrating the 45th year of its club’s existence.
Cherokee Lake Sailing Club was established in 1977. Long before Off the Hook Restaurant was serving up good food and great music at Black Oak Marina, there was a building on that spot that housed the sailing club. After a fire consumed the old clubhouse, the sailing club was relocated to a floating dock at the head of the sailboat piers, but that hasn’t kept the club from

Our sailors love nothing more than providing a learning experience for you during our laidback races on the lake. In fact, learning to sail during a race provides a new sailor with the opportunity to learn the full spectrum of sailing – as you will be sailing on all points of sail and during various wind conditions.

“WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS!”
We would love to share our beloved sailing sport with you. Come visit at the dock & see what sailing is all about!
“SO BEAUTIFUL!”
Cherokee Lake is the premier location in East Tennessee for a day of sailing. It is the pristine lake due to its width that enables a sailor to take advantage of various points of sail.
There is currently dock space through Black Oak Marina if you are interested in a berth for your boat. We gather at our club pavilion for club events, as well as holding activities at Off The Hook Restaurant located in the marina.
