The Privateer Yacht Club is a private yacht club located in Hixson, Tennessee, on the shore of Chickamauga Lake (United States).[1]
The club is also the home site of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Sailing Team for intercollegiate sailing at the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association.
Privateer Yacht Club has a facility that includes twenty eight acres, a clubhouse, one boat ramp and a dinghy hoist, wet slip docks for 80 sailboats, 110 dry slips for “dry sailed” boats and/or trailers, two maintenance hoists, a covered rack for a dozen kayaks, and a 1+1⁄2-mile wooded trail.[2]
Privateer Yacht Club was organized on July 25, 1940, after the Chickamauga Dam was built, by a group of Snipe sailors.[3]
