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
And that’s a wrap on another great sailing season. The boats have been put away, the clubhouse is now in winter maintenance mode, and the Commodore has has his ball (and it was a great party). The last event of the year will be the Christmas party, details coming soon.
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.
Are you not a club member but interested in becoming one? Keep an eye on this page early in the new year. We typically open for memberships in late January to mid February. If you are just looking for more info you can 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.
The Hamilton Bay Sailing Club gratefully acknowledges the City of Hamilton’s City Enrichment Fund for its ongoing support of our sailing program.
