We welcome members of reciprocal sailing or yacht clubs as visitors. Please read the following information carefully—especially if you have not visited us before.

WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER, SELF-HELP CLUB, SO WE OPERATE ON THE HONOUR SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT YOU, AS VISITOR, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REGISTERING, PAYING FEES AND, IN GENERAL, ADHERING TO ALL OUR RULES AND REGULATIONS. ANY ABUSE OF THIS TRUST MAY RESULT IN THE TERMINATION OF ALL RECIPROCITY WITH YOUR CLUB.

As you can see from the accompanying map, we are located about 1 mile SE of Ganges village in Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island. On reaching our marina, you must first tie up on the outside of the breakwater, which is a cement dock, and then obtain help from the daily wharfinger (or any other club member if no wharfinger is on duty) in locating a suitable moorage spot. You must also at this time fly your club burgee and be ready to produce your current club membership card. Please note that our club will be closed to reciprocal visitors during the Round Saltspring Race as listed below.



MOORAGE When you arrive at the Sailing Club, first tie up on the outside of the breakwater, which is a cement dock, and contact the Daily Wharfinger. We have approx. 315 feet marked as 'visitors dock'. Also, members' vacant moorage spots are regularly assigned to visitors. Reservations are not possible
