Fanshawe Yacht Club and Sailing School
Description
Step outside for some fresh air by the water! Come join us for sailing fun with your family bubble at the Fanshawe Yacht Club and 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). The entrance to FCA is off of the intersection of the newly constructed continuation of Clarke Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway, 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 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 on the hard to work on your boat. In addition to the dock system there are two ramps for launching and recovering your sailboat, a mooring field to house your larger sailboat on the water away from critters (sailboats up to 26 feet with retractable keels are welcome), and building a personal dock is also an option. There are storage racks for kayaks and canoes, tenders to get to and from your larger sailboat, and a motorized safety boat to use if needed.
As is common to all organized activities, this year's activities will depend on how COVID-19 restrictions affect the club and limit the events we are allowed to host. Should the club be open for business, club activities will include weekly organized sail races and special regattas that follow provincial health guidelines.
New members to the Fanshawe Yacht Club and Sailing School are always wanted and welcome!
