    Welcome to the Hamilton Bay Sailing Club

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.

For members wishing to book a large boat for personal use please refer to this page. 
If you are looking for the latest schedule or other related files check out our documents page. 

The Latest News

Both our dinghy and large boat programs are now full for 2025. We do have a waitlist and if you would like to be added to it, please contact our treasurer. Typically once the season starts we are able to open up a few spaces in both programs. More info on memberships can be found here. 

Want more info on becoming a club member? Check out our FAQ’s and other info about our club right here on the website. If you have unanswered questions you can email our email our secretary @ hbscsecretary@gmail.com and someone will get back to you.

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.
