The Barrachois Harbour Yacht Club, abbreviated BHYC, was founded in 1996 and is a private, registered, not-for-profit yacht club at Barrachois Harbour in northern Nova Scotia, Canada, about 1.58 nautical miles east-northeast of the village of Tatamagouche, with access to the Northumberland Strait across Amet Sound. It began when six boats on moorings near the Barrachois Harbour fishermen's wharf formed the club. Its home, Sunrise Shore Marina, opened on 6 July 1997 with 64 slips. The marina has proved an excellent hurricane hole, coming through Hurricane Gustav in 2002 and Hurricane Juan in 2003 undamaged. The club offers racing and cruising programs and is the starting point for a biennial 31-mile yacht race to Charlottetown Yacht Club in Prince Edward Island.
