Guelph Community Boating Club thriving in troubled times
Aug 5, 2020 10:51 AM By: Maxine Betteridge-Moes
Since its establishment over 40 years ago, the Guelph Community Boating Club has hosted regattas and other events for sailors of all ages and abilities in a quiet, tucked away corner of Guelph Lake.
This year is no different, as the pandemic has prompted many sailors to hone their skills on the water, including those in the Learn to Sail program for youth.
“It’s great that we’ve been able to stay open and welcome our members and kids back to the club. Utilization of our facilities has just been way up,” said Adam Wright, the commodore of the GCBC.
We offer 6 separate weeks of sailing instruction for children ages 8-15. A range of levels will be taught based on ability.
THE CO-OP
The Co-op program allows you to use club boats if you don't own your own. It is also a great way to meet other members and enjoy the beautiful grounds.
RACING AT GCBC
Racing is the fastest way to hone your sailing skills and get to know the other members. Everyone is welcome regardless of skill level or experience.
CANOES & KAYAKS
The Guelph community Boating Club also offers Windsurfing, Canoeing, Kayaking and Rowing. Store your own craft with us or become a co-op member and use one of ours!
