Welcome to Collins Bay Yacht Club as we prepare for our 29th season. CBYC is hosted by the privately owned Collins Bay Marina. Through their generous support, we are able to take advantage of the Marina's excellent facilities and dedicated staff to enhance membership benefits.
We are a club of about 100 enthusiastic members, offering a variety of casual and organized activities for both sailors and power boaters. For the cruising sailor, organized cruises throughout the sailing season are very popular. For those interested in racing, weeknight racing is held throughout the season, and features an expanded weekend racing schedule in conjunction with the Kingston Yacht Club and Loyalist Cove Yacht Club.
We are extremely proud of our CYA certified sailing school. Our team of qualified instructors are all graduates of this school and they offer a complete range of learning opportunities for children and adults. Last year we introduced weekend adult courses which were a hit. Our fleet consists of Hunter 140's and Club 420's. For keelboat sailors, courses leading to CYA Basic or Intermediate Cruising Standard are also available.
Any students from our sailing programs who are interested in racing, are welcome to crew. This year the adult classes have been scheduled on non race nights to provide more opportunities for students to participate in our racing program.
CBYC is committed to developing and fostering yachting for its members, by encouraging and promoting seamanship, goodwill, and sportsmanship. Safety seminars and demonstrations, some in conjunction with Collins Bay Marina, are integral to enhancing the boating experience for our members.
We invite you to check out our Calendar of Events for 2009 and join us for a boating or social event either on the water or on land.
