Join the Club! Fanshawe Yacht Club & Sailing School, London
Description
Go sailing! Step outside for some fresh air by the water! Come join us for safe sailing fun with your family and friends at the Fanshawe Yacht Club & Sailing School!
Fanshawe Yacht Club (FYC) is a co-operative, recreational sailing club right nearby on beautiful Fanshawe Lake. Learning to sail or taking out your own boat on a daily basis is extra accessible, as we're right in town! We are located within Fanshawe Conservation Area (FCA), with an entrance off of Veteran's Memorial Parkway, at the intersection of the newly constructed continuation of Clarke Rd., London, Ontario.
The environment at FYC is friendly and welcoming. Our members are always willing to lend a hand, or their expertise, to help you help have the best sailing experience. Our certified Sailing School is the best place for adults and youth to learn the sport.
The club grounds at FYC are exceptional. This is an excellent, quiet place for safely distanced family picnics and sailing. The club atmosphere is congenial and friendly with over 50 members and mooring for over 50 sailboats. Amenities include a long fixed dock, floating docks, rolling lawns, washrooms, a fire pit, dining pavilion, and loads of space to work on your boat. In addition to the dock system there are two ramps for launching and recovering your sailboat, a mooring ball system to house your larger sailboat on the water (sailboats up to 26 feet with retractable keels are welcome), a storage rack for kayaks, and canoes, row boats to get to and from your larger sailboat, and a motorized safety boat to use if needed.
As is common to all organized activities, our planned activities will depend on how COVID-19 restrictions affect the club and limit the events we are allowed to host. Club activities include weekly organized sail races and special regattas that follow provincial health guidelines. We also enjoy potluck dinners and other organized BBQ's.
New members to the Fanshawe Yacht Club and Sailing School are always wanted and welcome!
