Barrie Yacht Club

Founded in 1952 by a group of passionate local sailors, the Barrie Yacht Club has grown into a vibrant, volunteer-driven community committed to the sport of sailing. Located on the shores of beautiful Lake Simcoe, our club blends rich tradition with a modern spirit, offering a safe and family-friendly environment for education, racing, and camaraderie.

With Canada’s largest sailing school on Lake Simcoe and a membership that includes sailors of all ages and skill levels, BYC proudly upholds its legacy of seamanship, sportsmanship, and fellowship.
