Bay of Quinte Yacht Club

The Bay of Quinte Yacht Club is a boating club based in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, on the shores of the Bay of Quinte, the stretch of water that gives it its name. It was founded in 1876. Five years later, in 1881, the club unsuccessfully challenged for the America's Cup, the international yacht racing trophy, which gives this small Ontario club a place in the history of that competition. The club maintains an official site, known by its initials BQYC, where members and visitors can find details of its activities and its waterfront base in Belleville.
