Commodore's Message
Report
It is my honor and privilege to be the Commodore of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club for 2021. I am lucky to have grown up sailing here in Santa Barbara and am now raising my daughter to have a love of sailing and the Corinthian spirit. The Santa Barbara Yacht Club is the 2nd oldest club on the West Coast.
SBYC Women
Report
Our association, formed in 1989, is both a social organization and a nonprofit foundation. Our goal is to provide opportunities for women of the Yacht Club to become better acquainted with each other, to be more involved in Yacht Club activities, and to support our youth sailors. SBYCW is governed by a Board of Directors, consisting of four officers (president, vice president, secretary and treasurer) and nine committee chairs.
Monday Luncheon Forum
Report
A venerable tradition of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club is our weekly Forum Luncheon. Except when preempted by a holiday or "Big Race" or such activity, a group of members and their invited guests meet at the Yacht Club for Monday Lunch. Reservations are not required. Cost is $14.00, which includes a buffet, coffee and dessert.
CHRF racing
Report
It doesn't matter how much sailing experience you have, or what kind of boat you sail, everyone has an equal chance to win because handicaps are based on past performance. If you sail with 10 people and the family dog, you have the same chance to win as does the seasoned racer with a crack crew and a racing boat.
