Welcome to the Collingwood Yacht Club

Established in 1973, the Collingwood Yacht Club is proudly located on land leased from the Town of Collingwood at the picturesque Millenium Park. Our club features 103 slips, accommodating both sail and power boats up to 40 feet in length.

Access to our property is exclusive to members and their accompanied guests, ensuring a secure and welcoming environment. The clubhouse, equipped with washrooms and a shower, serves as the hub of our vibrant social activities.

We boast an active racing program, including Tuesday night racing and weekend regattas, offering excitement and competition for sailing enthusiasts.

With approximately 120 active members and 20 social members, our club is deeply rooted in the local community. The club is intended for local residents, with no more than 35% of our members having their principal residence more than 40 kilometres from the club.

As a working club, all members must contribute work hours annually, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and shared responsibility. Work that is not suitable for members to perform is contracted out.

CYC supports the community

At the Collingwood Yacht Club, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us throughout the years. In alignment with our values, we recently hosted a special screening of the acclaimed documentary on legendary sailor Buddy Melges. The event brought together members, friends, and local sailing enthusiasts for an inspiring evening. Thanks to the tremendous support, we were able to raise $2,000, which has been proudly donated to the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital to assist in their ongoing healthcare efforts.

We are also proud to support the Collingwood Sailing Academy in fostering the next generation of sailors. The club has provided dedicated space on our property for the Academy’s classroom and equipment storage, helping to ensure that their programs continue to thrive. By working together, we aim to contribute to a vibrant, healthy, and active community on and off the water.

Collingwood Yacht Club Racing

If you would like to improve your sailing skills, there is no better way than racing.

We are always happy to bring on new racing crew and the more boats, the merrier.

Starting on Tuesday nights beginning in May, we will be running through some of the basics of crewing on a racing boat and we hope that many of you will join us. That’s how most sailors get started racing: you crew on someone’s boat and then you get the confidence to take your own boat out. Once the race is done, everyone gathers for a post-race debrief which consists of friendly banter and beverages.

If you are interested and would like more information, please contact our Fleet Captain, David Sturch.

The Terminals - a Collingwood Landmark and beacon for returning to the CYC

Conveniently located near the heart of the Town of Collingwood, Collingwood Yacht Club sits in the scenic Millennium Park. This beautiful park was built on a spit of land that originally housed the former Collingwood Terminals, and today it offers a unique and historic setting for our club.

Spread across 5 acres of land and water leased from the Town of Collingwood, our club provides the perfect backdrop for a range of boating activities. The site is fully secured with fencing, ensuring privacy and safety for all members. Access is restricted to members and their accompanied guests, allowing you to enjoy an exclusive experience at our well-maintained facilities.
