Looe Boat Owners Association (LBOA) was formed in 2002 by local (and not so
local) boat owners with moorings in and around Looe.
From a modest beginning the club grew quickly and and although most members
have something that floats, boat ownership is not a pre-qualification for
membership.
Some are social members with no boat at all and others have moved their boats to
other locations but remain in the club.
All enjoy the sociability that the club provides.
Social Events
The club is run voluntarily by several of its members. River and beach BBQ's plus
weekend social events, such as sailing to Fowey for
lunch or overnight stays, often occur.
Many of these take place on an ad-hoc basis
where members arrange to get together on their
own initiative, usually on demand and we have a
Whatsapp group for instant notification of these events.
To be included, send a message to our Events Organiser via our contact page.
The Events page shows where and when meetings take place. General club evenings are
held in Looe Sailing Club and are designed to be both social and informative. There is a
licensed bar and usually some refreshments.
Occasionally speakers talk on a range of topics of interest to Looe Boat Owners so keep
checking us out to see what's new!
Associations
The club enjoys close association with Looe Sailing Club, based in Buller Road, Looe,
where LBOA hold most of their meetings.
There are also close connections with Looe RNLI and with Looe Harbour Commission.
The Harbourmaster often visits to speak on issues or activities which may be of
particular interest.
Initiatives
Club members spearheaded initiatives such as:
Looe Boat Owners don’t have to own a boat, any dream will do!
