WYC Boats
The Washington yacht club has a large fleet of boats available to club
members. All of the boats on this page can be sailed for free.
The club also maintains a fleet of larger keelboats
that can be checked out for multiple day cruises in salt water.
In addition several members own private boats and
enjoy sailing with club members.
Dinghies - Single Handed
Sailing for one can be lots of fun. Most club members learn to sail on
these responsive little boats.

Dinghies - Double Handed
These larger boats for two give members an opportunity to take outside
friends out for a sail. They also give members a chance to learn more
complicated sailboat techniques like spinnakers.

Windsurfing Sailboards
Yes, the Washington Yacht Club goes windsurfing too, especially in the summer
months. We have a fleet of 8 long boards and numerous wetsuits.
We teach long boards locally on Union Bay, and many club members also go on weekend road trips
to the Columbia river gorge to sail on short boards.
Motorboats
The club has a fleet of 3 Boston Whalers that we use as support boats for
lessons and the Snooze N Cruise.
