Big News at Dobson Yacht Club! 🛥️

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Bill Bailey, our new Commodore!

Great to have you on board, Bill — we’re looking forward to a fantastic season ahead.

🎄 Christmas Dinner Recap
Our Christmas Dinner was a wonderful evening. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special shout-out to Neil and his staff The Dory Pub and Restaurant for an excellent meal. Well fed sailors are happy sailors.

⚠️ Important Winter Reminder
Please take a moment to check the jack stands under your boats. With the recent warm weather followed by frost, some stands have begun to sink into the ground. As you know, this can cause boats to shift. It’s mild now, but freezing temperatures are on their way back — better safe than doing the Titanic reenactment.

Thanks everyone, and stay safe out there!

Good morning, everyone!

Our Annual General Meeting is happening Sunday, December 7, 2025 at 2:00 PM, and we’d love to see you there! The meeting will take place at the Dobson in the Event room.

This is a great chance to hear what we've been up to all summer and what is up and coming at the Dobson. Your voice and participation truly make a difference. We are also always looking for new members or people interested in volunteering to help keep the club a running success.

Please note that our AGM runs about 1 hour in length.

We hope to see you there this Sunday!

Yours,
The Board of Directors
