Welcome!

Whether you are an avid racer, family cruiser or just interested in learning to sail, the Oakville Yacht Squadron has much to offer.

We are a family club. One membership covers the entire family and includes a wide range of activities from sailing lessons to club cruises, racing to "just messing about in boats". The Oakville Yacht Squadron is a club for every type of sailor. To keep our costs down, we operate as a self-help club. Everyone pitches in to get the work done - we have fun doing it.

Located on the West Side of Sixteen-Mile Creek, just south of the Lakeshore Road Bridge, the Oakville Yacht Squadron is one of the prettiest spots in town.

Getting to OYS by boat: the Oakville lighthouse (FR) on the south end of the east pier is N 43 26 21.9 W 79 39 56.5 - follow the signs to the visitors' dock, to port about half way to the first bridge.

Getting to OYS by other means: Take the QEW to Trafalgar Road and head south. Make a right turn onto Lakshore Road and proceed to Forsythe, the first light immediately after the bridge. Make a left onto Forsythe, then immediately left again onto Francis. OYS is the large brown building directly ahead. [Maps]
