Founded in 1959 by a group of ardent sailors, the club dedicates itself to safe cruising, racing, boating education, and good fellowship among sailors. We are a family organization with members from Maine to the Chesapeake. The club, which is run entirely by members, is an affordable way to belong to a recognized yachting organization. Our wide range of activities appeal to new boat owners as well as to more experienced sailors and serious offshore racers.

The club has no clubhouse, docks, tennis courts, swimming pools or restaurants, but offers its membership a wide array of cruising, racing, informational and social events year round. Currently, our membership includes more than 200 boats from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New York, Connecticut, and the Chesapeake Bay. If you enjoy sailing, want to learn more about it, desire to expand your cruising and/or racing horizons, would gain confidence by sailing in the company of others, and would like to meet friendly people who share your interest in sailing, perhaps you should consider the Blue Water Sailing Club.

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.

In addition, we organize many offshore events and fun social occasions. Many members are making their mark in other big races, and many, power and sail alike, are very active cruisers and find their way all over the Great Lakes. Our diversified membership of active boaters makes for fun social events and great stories around the fireplace during the winter on Friday nights. Charlevoix Yacht Club was formally established by a group of local yachtsmen with the publishing of a cruising schedule in 1970.
