OUR STORY
In July 1931, eight young men formed what is now the West Coast Yacht Club. Inasmuch as the charter members were building boats in their backyards, a sawhorse was selected as the keynote of the club burgee. A combination of the school colors of the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Southern California were chosen for the burgee, resulting in a sky-blue sawhorse superimposed upon a field of cardinal and gold.
Since the inception of the WCYC, its burgee has been flown by members on cruises to many of the romantic ports on the Pacific and The Atlantic Oceans and The Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas, including such places as Alaska, New Zealand and The Panama Canal.
West Coast Yacht Club is a cruising club with cruises and events scheduled throughout the year. Sailing members can enter any Southern California Yachting Association (S.C.Y.A.) race under our burgee. Our members are very active, participating in cruises and various other activities on the water, guaranteeing that you will get more use out of your boat, whether sail or power, by joining WCYC.
