The islands of Gatineau River Yacht Club (GRYC) have been home to sailors on the Chelsea reservoir for over thirty years. The Club's mission statement is "The Gatineau River Yacht Club (GRYC) is a family-oriented, volunteer-driven, co-operative, not-for-profit corporation dedicated to promoting and encouraging active participation in the sport of sailing and other water-related recreational activities. All activities at the GRYC shall respect the environment and the ability of the Club's islands and of the Gatineau River to sustain those activities on a long term basis. Sailboats have been enjoying the "unique" winds of the Gatineau River since 1928 when the Gatineau Valley was flooded from Chelsea to Cascades as a result of the construction of the Chelsea Dam by the Gatineau Power Company. The river was actually quite wild before the dam was built, in fact, there was a seven metre waterfall (named Eaton's Chute) between the lighthouse point and the dock immediately across the river.
