Welcome to Barefoot Sailing Club (BFSC) on Lake Lanier, Georgia.


Founded in 1971 (54 years ago!), we originally focused on dinghy racing.  But, over the years have expanded much further.  Members enjoy racing on cruisers and racing boats, cruising around the lake and rafting up for social activities.  
 

Curious about sailing with us? Join us for an upcoming First Saturday Cruise or Member Social and Meeting. We look forward to meeting you!

Join the 2026 Barefoot Board

At our upcoming social and meeting on Sunday, November 16th*, we'll be voting in the 2026 slate of officers.  While we have interested folks to fill most of the board roles, we're still looking for a new Vice Commodore and Social Captain.  Would you be interested?

Additionally, we are seeking non-board Event Coordinators to manage individual events (e.g. coordinating the Low Country Boil).


You don’t need tons of experience; just enthusiasm and a willingness to jump in and help out! If you’re interested or want to learn more, reach out to Angela, our BFSC Yeoman, or any current board member.

*Meetings are normally held on the 4th Sunday of the month, but due to Thanksgiving, the next meeting will be held on the 3rd Sunday, November 16th.
