Interested in joining other Cruising Enthusiasts?

The RHYC Cruisers consist of members, most of whom are boat owners of cruising sail and power boats of all classes.

If you're a new or existing member of the Club and would like to join a welcoming group, or if you would be interested in helping to organize a cruising event, contact Rick and Debbie McQuin via the Club Manager, Cruising Chairpersons for 2009. They will answer any questions that you may have and would be pleased to introduce you to cruising sailors or have a member accompany you on your first cruise and introduce you to a very welcoming group.

Recent Cruising Destinations

The RHYC cruising group arranges a number of cruises per season. Recently they have visited Niagara-on-the-Lake (great destination for Niagara Peninsula, Niagara Falls and Wine Country), Oakville (Old Oakville provides a relaxing walking destination with great restaurants), Port Dalhousie (close to the Henley Regatta Course and refurbished water front restaurant district), Fifty Point (a marina set in a Halton Region conservation area), Toronto (several clubs offer reciprocity and make this a great City destination for theatre and much more) and many others. Going with the cruising group makes an overnight cruise that much more enjoyable, not to mention the wine and cheese parties we host to meet new friends and chat about sailing and all things nautical.

The Cruising Enthusiasts consists of Members of the Club who are interested in organizing cruising activities throughout the year (In the winter months some members have organized cruises to meet in the BVI and destinations offshore). Other events such as The Easter Seals Regatta provide members with an opportunity to support the community and provide an enjoyable sail around Hamilton Bay and create a special day for children. It's a great way to be involved in the club, cruising and creating community spirit.

RHYC Cruising Objectives are to provide:
- Cruising programme activities and events for owners of cruising sail and power boats;
- Local insight and applied knowledge of The Great Lakes, its harbours, marinas and reciprocal destination facilities for cruising sailors;
- Coordinated communications for cruising sailors in Club events and affairs;
- Recognition of Cruising Members achievements in special sailing activities.
