Cruising in keelboats is the name of the game at Gull Harbour Yacht Club, located on Hecla Island on Lake Winnipeg.

This pretty part of the lake is great cruising ground, with plenty of good anchorages within a four-hour sail of the yacht club, including those on nearby Black Island and Deer Island. Many of the club members own rowing-sailing dinghies, which they also race.

Socializing is spontaneous, with pot-luck dinners held on the dock some weekends. The club holds a general meeting every year in the spring, along with a couple of winter parties.

Gull Harbour members dock their keelboats at the marina on Hecla Island, which is part of Hecla Provincial Park. The marina offers gas and oil sales and pump-outs, and the club of around 20 keelboats usually pulls their boats out and stores them at Hecla, Gimli, Silver Harbour or other places around the lake for the winter.
