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


Founded in 1971 (55 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!

The future of Favored End


For decades, our club pontoon has served as the backbone of our on-water events - from marking courses for race committee, to shuttling folks for Steak Out, and hauling junk for Shore Sweep.  In 2019, we started a log of the Favored End activities which you can read on the Favored End page.

​

With a change in marina ownership ending our complimentary slip, we're asking members to weigh in on the path forward.  Read more at Favored End Decision.
