Commodore's Message

 
Sun Parlour Boat Club was organized in the 1960s by a group of local boating enthusiasts with a common interest in family size outboard motor racing. Although the exact date of the Club’s beginning is uncertain, our first recorded meeting was in March of 1968 with our 1^st Commodore being Jerry Rice who served two terms. Over the years the Club has evolved and currently resides at Holiday Harbour Marina in LaSalle, Ontario.

   Today SPBC is a proud Member of Inter-Lake Yachting Association, the Associated Yacht Club and the International Order of Blue Gavel. We promote safe boating, camaraderie among the boating community and provide activities for our members, both on the water and land. Sun Parlour Boat Club offers its membership the ability to access approximately 132 Clubs that reside on Lake Erie, the Detroit River and Lake St Clair. These activities include various sail racing events, poker runs, dining and entertainment. Friendships that are made with the members of our affiliated Clubs, are more often than not, lifetime. In addition, to our water activities, we want to ensure that boating and the Club continues to grow. As such, we are a family friendly Club. In 2025 we are working on activities on land and water that can be enjoyed by our children and grandchildren.

   It doesn’t matter whether you own a small or large vessel, run power or sail, or have no boat at all, Sun Parlour Boat Club offers great value to its Membership and to the community that we reside in.

   If you have an interest in becoming a member of SPBC, please feel free to reach out to any of our Flag Officers or Board of Directors. Our contact information can be found here at www.sunparlourboatclub.com or on our Facebook page. We welcome you to come out and see what “The Friendliest Club On The Lake” has to offer.

Sincerely,

2025 Commodore Chris Amlin
