About Us

The Belwood Lake Sailing Club is a group of family-oriented sailing boat enthusiasts.

The club is located on a ten acre site on Lake Belwood, a reservoir managed by the Grand River Conservation Authority, about 4km east of Fergus. There is a club house with sail and gear storage, washrooms, a kitchen, picnic tables, camping area, and boat and car parking.

There is a ramp into the water and launching dollies that allow most people to hand launch their boats easily. There are two docks: one for launching and one for short term docking.

The club is managed by its members. There are ten directors elected from the membership who organize various functions throughout the year. Each week club members are responsible for keeping the general appearance of the club neat and tidy -- this normally takes about two or three hours and members are only required to do this once per year.

There are a lot of different boat types in the club. Dinghies such as: Lasers I and II, CL14s, CL16s, Wayfarers, Mirrors, Y-Flyers, GP14s, and Albacores and catamarans like Hobie 14s, 16s, 18s and Dart 18s. Some members also keep canoes and kayaks at the club and use them quite often in the back waters of the lake.
