Although Pointe-Claire Yacht Club has some shallow water surrounding it, getting in or out is easy if you know what to look for.
Footage from a regatta, taken in 1966, lots of boats, zero lifejackets.
Our manager, Alex, found some film reels of a regatta from 1966. He managed to also find a projector that can show them. The reel shows an impressive number of boats on the water, a wide variety of sailing watercraft, and not a lifejacket in sight. Apparently, it is possible some of our current members are likely to be seen rounding the mark.
