The Oakville Yacht Squadron has historically been renowned for its thriving junior program.

Founded in 1946, the Oakville Yacht Squadron is located on the shores of the Sixteen Mile Creek.

In 1995 OYS absorbed former Oakville Harbour Yacht Club and a growing interest in cruising was augmented by the members integrated into the club at that time.

Touted as the Greatest Yacht Race on the Lake, the LO300 had a field of over 110 boats.
