No Sailboat? No Problem!

Don't Own a Sailboat? No Problem!

Simply Register For a 'No Boat, No Problem' Membership.

That’s right… You can now sail beautiful Lake St Louis and enjoy the BDYC grounds and facilities, WITHOUT OWNING your own sailboat.

Did you take Junior Squadron classes years ago, and now have an itch to get out on Lake St-Louis, again?

Have you recently taken Adult sailing classes and would like to continue sailing on our beautiful lake?

Do you have the desire to sail again but don’t have your own sailboat?

With over 800 past Junior Squadron and Adult sailing customers, BDYC is kicking off a pilot project called ‘No Boat? No Problem!’ We’re looking forward to encouraging more of our West Island youth and adults to enjoy sailing again by providing non-boat owners with affordable and convenient access to sailing on Lake St Louis.
