Commodore's Corner
Welcome to the official website of the Fifty Point Yacht Club. We are domiciled in the Fifty Marina and Conservation Area located on the south shore of Lake Ontario and operated by the Hamilton Conservation Authority, (HCA). Our close relationship with the HCA enables us to operate a healthy and vibrant yacht club in one of the best natural surroundings on our Lake.
The HCA has recently completed an extensive dredging operation on the entrance to our harbour. Depths of at least 8 feet have been reported thoughout our entanceway.
Our flotilla cruising and racing programs are been up and running for a while now. Details of future activities are contained on this site and in Scuttlebutt which can be accessed by scrolling down this page. We recently held our annual Beach BBQ which, with over 110 members in attendance, was a tremendous success.
Your Club Executive and their enthusiastic crew of volunteers have put a lot of effort into this season's program. The results of their efforts are starting to show through. Also please note that the Commodore's Ball for 2010 will be held on Saturday, 18th September at the Best Western Harbourview in Jordan, ON. More details on this event are in the Scuttlebutt - but mark your calendars now.
For many of us FPYC is a major part of our summer; it's where our friends are and where we feel like "home away from ". Please make the effort to participate in as many of our events that you can. We've got a lot to offer and some of the nicest people that you are ever going to meet.
Be safe on your ship of dreams. I hope that this season is a memorable one.
Best Wishes,
Paul Pelletier
Commodore - FPYC
