Long Point Bay Yacht Club
​LPBYC 2026 COMMODORE’S WELCOME
Welcome to a new season in Port Dover! Weather and water depth challenges are hopefully behind us, as we prepare for another boating season.
​
Spring is the time of year to check all your safety items and make sure your pfds are in working order. Check your onboard detectors and fire extinguishers, ensuring you have the appropriate types of detectors and appropriately sized extinguishers. Remember to renew all battery-operated devices, paying attention to proper replacement types. Our Club has experienced members willing to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to contact any member of the Club Executive in-person or online.
​
Our Club encourages safe boating and proper boat handling. Our local CanBoat organization has qualified instructors with excellent boating courses available. Information is available online or contact our Club executive for information.
Safe cruising on Lake Erie is fun and adventurous, but preparation and training is well worth the time in handling an emergency or foul weather.
​
Here’s looking forward to seeing you at our social events, or on the water!
Safe Boating,
