History- The Early Years


Launch Well Construction	Dredging	Clubhouse late 90s

Many changes occurred during the 90’s at LMYC. Early one morning on November 18^th 1992 LMYC suffered a serious fire which occurred in the old fireplace in the lounge area of the clubhouse.. Fortunately The LaSalle Fire Department was able to contain the blaze and subdued the fire.

1993 was the Silver Anniversary of LaSalle Mariners. Twenty-Five had past since the inception of LMYC. This event was celebrated by a dinner dance at the Sicilia Club in Windsor followed the next day by an open house at the clubhouse.

1995 saw the construction of new docks along the North Harbour near the clubhouse. Members were purchasing new boats and these docks were to accommodate larger boats 30 foot and up. A new gin pole was constructed at the new launch well and the old gin pole was removed and replaced by the pump out providing club members with two location for masting and de-masting their boats.

In 1996 a covered addition was built to shelter our new gas barbeques and picnic facilities. This addition proved very popular to many club members.

In 1998 a great many things were done to improve LaSalle Mariner’s Yacht Club. The wooden walkway along the South Harbour was completed. A new patio door has been installed off the patio making access easier to the clubhouse.. The front entrance underwent a transformation. It is now graced with grey interlocking brick with the club burgee inserted.

During the final year of the decade many projects were undertaken. The Haul Out Well, Travel Lift and Travel trailer became a reality. The Wheel chair lift renovations were completed with the lift incorporated into the porch design. A new garage storage shed was installed, which was donated by Paul and Faye Laing.
