Club Traditions & Legacy
Founded in 1935, Port Credit Yacht Club has been a cornerstone of sailing and waterfront life on Lake Ontario for nearly a century. What began as a small group of passionate sailors has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational club known for its strong community, active programs, and deep connection to the lake. PCYC’s traditions are shaped not just by racing and cruising, but by the friendships, mentorship, and shared experiences that keep members coming back year after year.
Regatta History
PCYC has a proud and long-standing reputation for hosting exceptional regattas, from youth development events to major offshore and international competitions. For decades, sailors from across Canada and beyond have come to Port Credit to compete, learn, and connect. Events like the Steerers’ Trophy, Four Sisters Regatta, Susan Hood Trophy Race, and Lake Ontario 300 have helped shape the club’s identity as a leader in race management and on-the-water excellence.
