The Barrie Yacht Club was registered in 1952 as a "Not for Profit Social Club". Our objective is to encourage building of yachts, to encourage sailing among amateurs and to promote water safety and fellowship among those interested in these sports. Members assist in the management and upkeep of the club, as we are a volunteer-based organization. While all members initially joined the club to spend time on the water, we have also discovered an extended family on the docks and the clubhouse grounds.
The BYC has a fantastic sailing school with a long history, which is organized by members and offered to the public. The school teaches youth and adult.
The BYC has a 60+ year history of sailboat racing and cruising. Many sailors have developed their skills in our Wednesday night white sail and flying sail
