clubhouse, outside Bruce Neuk. A memorial plaque was installed inside the Clubhouse entrance, which was also fitted with new windows and handicapped accessible doors.

Joan Yuile, Al Malo and Marc Charbonneau coauthored ``125 Years of the Britannia Yacht Club 1887-2012`` (Ottawa, Britannia Yacht Club pending 2012). Since Ottawa suffered a drought and low water levels in 2012, the BYC Harbourmaster and staff kept a close eye on moorings and the harbor to ensure that no boat was grounded and not able to sail. The clubhouse was included amongst other architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa, in 2011 and 2012. BYC Traditions BYC has a collection of model yachts, including Bluenose II. BYC Members fly the club's unique flag (triangular), called a burgee. Annually, club members participate in the Commodore's sail past and the Commodore's ball. On Venetian night, boats in the harbor are covered in lights. Members sing a BYC version of Rule, Britannia! BYC club colors of Blue & White are used in the walls of the Clubhouse and outbuildings, plantings, and clothing worn by members. The clubhouse and gardens feature memorials to members who have contributed to the BYC. For example, the Harbourmaster's Gate (at Britannia Yacht Club) was dedicated 28 October 1989 ``in memory of Vice-Commodore Lorne E Minogue and in recognition of all members who through their voluntary efforts have contributed to the building of this club. `` Ringing the temptation bell indicates that you have bought a round of drinks for everyone around the dragon bar.
