Welcome!

Welcome the Outer Harbour Sailing Federation. The Outer Harbour Sailing Federation (OHSF) consists of eight member clubs located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, in the Outer Harbour of Toronto.

For over 30 years the OHSF has represented eight community water-sport clubs offering a wide range of boating, windsurfing, kayaking, canoing and rowing facilities at a fraction of the cost of membership at a conventional yacht club. The OHSF community water-sports clubs are operated as not-for-profit community clubs where costs are kept low due to a volunteer and teamwork strategy.
