Our History

The Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club was incorporated in 1977 as an organizing authority for racing sailors on the eastern end of Lake Erie. We are run by an all volunteer board and rely heavily on the volunteerism of our members and sponsors to make it all work. The club has enjoyed tremendous success in this endeavor and is now one of the premier sailboat racing programs in the country. From its modest beginnings, to its peak growth in the early 2000's, the club has maintained itself as the go-to club for keelboat racing in Western New York and Southern Ontario. Over the years many additional programs have been developed to promote the sport and provide access for those wishing to enter it.

This section of the website is dedicated to our history. Where those wondering where it all came from can find insight; and those looking to remind themselves of just how much fun we've had can find memories.

The Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club is a proud member of US Sailing and PHRF-LE.
