Sailing & Boating.
Collingwood Yacht Club has operated from Millennium Park in Collingwood Harbour since 1973, with 103 slips for sail and power boats up to 40 feet, the harbour itself sheltered by jetty and breakwater at the foot of the 1929 Collingwood Terminals. The club runs Tuesday night racing through the season starting in May plus the Collingwood Invitational Regatta in June, with reciprocal racing on the Meaford Schooner Nancy Race and the Midland Bay Icebreaker.
The brief.
The club sits on land leased from the Town of Collingwood at Millennium Park, with around 120 active members and 20 social members; reciprocal racing exchanges with Meaford and Thornbury yacht clubs structure most weekend regattas through the season. The Collingwood Invitational Regatta is the marquee June event.
Tuesday night racing begins in May and includes instruction for new racing crew. Best window for sailing in Collingwood Harbour is May through October.
The harbour basin is well-sheltered, but Nottawasaga Bay opens onto Georgian Bay with prevailing SW/W/NW winds, so sailors clearing the harbour should plan for the open-bay forecast.
