Prince Edward Yacht Club

Like most others, the Prince Edward Yacht Club has two activity centers – one on the water, the other on the land.On the water, the P.E.Y.C., small as it is, offers formidable competition in events like the Eastern Yachting Circuit as well as our own Club racing. We can boast of more than a hundred years of sailing activity around these parts. Coming off the water, our Club aims to look after you and yours in a clubhouse that is being improved and upgraded. The first record we have of sailing activity out of Picton is from the 1880’s, but no on-the-water clubhouse of any note existed then for years to come. Our clubhouse of today dates only from the mid 1930’s. At that time, a derelict building stood on the water front, the deteriorating remains of the electric lighting plant built for this town about 1890.
