| About Us |
|
The Barrie Model Yacht club is a relaxed atmosphere with full size boating rules
being the guide for our fun sail racing.
Our pond is suitable for sail, electric & steam. There is little wave action yet good breezes. No internal combustion engines are allowed. We have a purpose-built dock installed. This dock is designed for safe launching and recovery of delicate scale models and also very large boats. Our group is active at fun sailing but we also have a variety of craft from warships to submarines to steam powered tugs and launches. We meet the second Thursday of each month from September to May. During sailing season (May to September) you will find us at the pond every Thursday evening from 5:00 p.m. and on Sundays from noon. We welcome guests at all our meetings and sailing sessions. If you don't have a boat but think you'd like to get started, the two hobby shops who sponsored our dock, Ideal Hobbies and the Hobby Place in Barrie, have a good selection and our members would be pleased to offer advice. We are new and will definitely grow in numbers which only benefit us all. |
