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!
