We’ll have spotter boats in the bay, extra life jackets on hand (but bring your own if you have one - they’re mandatory) Children need to have an adult present and everyone needs to sign a waiver. For $30 you can join the LYC and have access to the boats all summer!

The Lasqueti Yacht Club has purchased 8 Laser dinghies we now have the opportunity to start a Sailing Program, with the goal of attracting more people, young and old, to the sport of sailing.
We are now putting together a Sailors Group within the LYC to make this happen. We need Club Members to join this group and work on what needs to be done.

Burgees are for sale to Club members for $30 each. Please contact the Commodore or any Executive Committee member and we will arrange for delivery.
