The West Lancashire Yacht Club (WLYC) is a yacht club in Merseyside, England, founded in 1894. In 1999 the club was awarded the status of Volvo/RYA Champion Club, recognising the standard of training and performance of its members in sailing competitions. WLYC club racing is primarily on Southport Marine Lake Lake or on the sea at Southport (or Ainsdale). In 2006, the club hosted the first GP14s National Championship, and it also holds its 24 Hour Race. The race was named as the 4th best regatta in the world by Yachts and Yachting magazine in its "50 regattas to do before you die". The 2006 race was the 40th yearly race. The club also runs the laser 12 hour race on the Southport marine lake. The clubhouse is situated next to Southport Sailing Club. The scoring tower won an architecture award in the 1960s.
