Community Club

The Community Keelboat program allows skippers to reserve a boat. Maintained and properly equipped, our Sharks, C&C 24 and Tanzer 26 offer a convenient option for keelboat sailing in the Kingston area if you do not have your own boat. Community Keelboats can be signed out for a few hours or full day. Several are equipped to sail to overnight destinations. KYC is the only club in these waters that provides such a program!

Destinations

Some nearby destinations you can explore:

  • Kingston Waterfront -   you get a wonderful view of our historic city from the water.
    • To the west is Richardson Beach, the Murney Tower National Historic Site, Kingston General Hospital’s chimney (a landmark for miles on the water), Gord Downie Pier and Kingston Penitentiary at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour. 
    • To the east is Confederation Basin marina with day docks opposite City Hall.
    • Cedar Island is park with docks and picnic facilities.
    • At Marysville on Wolfe Island, there are docks offered by several restaurants.
  • Jemmetts Landing is a KYC property 12 nautical miles to the east on Wolfe Island.  It is a favourite destination for an overnight stay.

How do I become a Community Keelboat Skipper?

Applicants with previous sailing experience can apply by providing a sailing resume. Tell us which boats you have sailed, charters you have skippered, and list any sailing qualifications. An on-water orientation and evaluation by one of our skippers will be arranged. If you have little or no keelboat sailing experience, successfully completing the our Adult Learn to Sail Program may prepare you to become a Community Keelboat skipper.'
