WYC Keelboats
The Washington Yacht Club has a fleet of three keelboats that club members
can rent for multi day cruises in Puget Sound. Sometimes members take off
for a week and sail all the way to Canada and back!
Members also own private boats and sometimes moor them at the WAC. You
can find out more on the member boats page.
The Keelboat Fleet
We currently have two keelboats. Charlotte is a Catalina 27, and Rascal is a Ranger
26.
Keelboat Lessons
The club teaches keelboat lessons as a part of its regular lessons program.
These classes cover large boat sail handling and navigation, as well as cruising systems like stoves
and plumbing.
Keelboat Reservation Rates
Prices are per day.

The WYC Burgee
 The WYC
burgee is a small flag that members fly proudly when sailing a
keelboat. Members can buy a burgee from the
Program Director at the club office. Flying a club burgee is often a requirement
when using the facilities at reciprocal yacht clubs. |
Reciprocal Moorage
The Washington Yacht Club exchanges reciprocal mooring privileges with other
yacht clubs in the US and Canada. This lets club members park a boat at
many Puget Sound locations one night for free! Find out more in the
Reciprocal Moorage section of the web site.
Pumpout Stations
Emptying a holding tank is a necessary responsibility for keelboat sailors. The most convenient locations for doing this are Shilshole Marina if coming back in from Puget Sound, or Carrillon Point Marina if out on Lake Washington. There is also the Marina Mart 24 Hour Pumpout about 3/4 of the way down the west side of Lake Union.
