Bark Shanty Sail Club (BSSC), located in Port Sanilac , MI, was founded in 1972 by a handful of dedicated sailors. The initial members were all locals of the Port Sanilac area, but today's member base spans all of Central and Lower Michigan. Over the years, we have grown to provide a full range of sailing and boating activites including a full racing program, an active cruising group, social activities, as well as a group of avid fisherman.
A great harbor with easy access to Lake Huron within a reasonable drive from the Detroit and Flint area are key attractions of the club. Throughout the years, BSSC's purpose has remained true to the founder's intent: to foster friendship among sailors and promote participation and interest in the sport of sailing and boating. The relaxed, family-oriented nature of BSSC goes a long way in furthering these goals.

The Historic Detroit Yacht Club, founded in 1868, is one of the oldest and most prestigious private Clubs in North America. Although Social Members exceed Boating Members in number, yachts, boats, and almost anything which floats are a vital part of many of the DYC's activities. The DYC's adult learn-to-sail program is one of the best of its kind anywhere. Our classes use the DYC's fleet of Flying Scots, which are 19-foot sloop-rigged sailboats.
