Welcome to the Hamilton Bay Sailing Club!
We are a non-profit co-operative social-sailing club for adults. Interested in an affordable means of sailing or discovering basic sailing techniques in a casual atmosphere? We have it! Boats, safety equipment, and volunteer skippers are coordinated by the club and are included in one low membership fee. Off the water we host many social activities and events throughout the year at our bayside clubhouse and compound. Check our FAQ’s for more details.
The Latest News
Our dinghy program and waitlist are now full for 2025. We have very limited spaces left in our large boat program, when those are full we will create a waitlist. If you are interested in joining the club in 2025, we suggest signing up for the large boat program and we hope to move you off the waitlist throughout the summer. If interested, you can switch to dinghies in 2026 or give them a try when there is an opportunity throughout the summer.

Want to get more involved? We are still looking for a couple of key member volunteers to join the board of directors in the roles of Social Coordinator and Fleet Captain. These are both key roles and need to be filled. If you are interested reach out to any board member for more info.
Winter maintenance has started for the small boat fleet and clubhouse. Every Tuesday and Thursday 6-8pm, members gather at the clubhouse to work on dinghy repairs. All members are welcome and encouraged to participate. This is a good way to learn boat repair while giving back to the club.
The Hamilton Bay Sailing Club gratefully acknowledges the City of Hamilton’s City Enrichment Fund for its ongoing support of our sailing program.
