*Please note: the minimum age for children taking sailboat rides or being on the dock is age 6 (or turning 6 in 2023). Children must be supervised by their parents or guardians at all times.

The club grounds at FYC are exceptional. This is an excellent, quiet place for safely distanced family picnics and sailing. The club atmosphere is congenial and friendly with over 75 members and mooring for over 30 sailboats. Amenities include a long fixed dock, floating docks, rolling lawns, washrooms, a fire pit, dining pavilion, and loads of space on the hard to work on your boat.

In addition to the dock system there are two ramps for launching and recovering your sailboat, a mooring field to house your larger sailboat on the water away from critters (sailboats up to 26 feet with retractable keels are welcome), and building a personal dock is also an option. There are storage racks for kayaks and canoes, tenders to get to and from your larger sailboat, and a motorized safety boat to use if needed.

New members to the Fanshawe Yacht Club and Sailing School are always wanted and welcome! Come learn more at our Open House!
