An American Sailing Association Sailing School
Fairwind Yacht Club is a volunteer sailing cooperative located in Channel Islands Harbor (CIH). Established in 1966 as a nonprofit corporation, the Club provides convenient and inexpensive sailing for our members. More information can be found on our website. http://www.fairwind.org
The Channel Islands Harbor Fleet - Our fleet includes approximately 20 sailboats in Channel Islands Harbor: four Catalina 14.2 trainers, five Capri 22s, a Catalina 250, a J-24, a Catalina 28, two Catalina 30s, a Catalina 320, a Catalina 375, two Catalina 380s and other boats. We are always in the process of adding new boats.
Membership Benefits - Club sailboats of varying types and lengths are stored on the water for use by members year-round. Our boats range from 14’ to 40’ and are docked in private slips in Marina Del Rey and Channel Islands Harbor. Membership is strictly limited to ensure that boats are always available for members’ use. The Club offers ASA training and certifications to all members.
Checked-out members may reserve club boats for private use by themselves and their guests at no additional cost beyond the dues except for fuel used. Boats are reserved using a web-based reservations system, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis for day sailing and cruising. Restrooms, showers and parking facilities are available for members and guests in Marina Del Rey and Channel Islands. The Club also organizes social and family events, and cruises to nearby marinas and the Channel Islands.
The cost of membership at Fairwind Yacht Club is kept extremely low and the Club offsets the cost of maintaining and updating our fleet through member volunteer work.
Membership Requirements - Membership is open to any person aged 18 or over who, after applying, has been approved by the Membership Committee. Members must agree to abide by the by-laws and standing rules of the Club, must attend general meetings of the club and attend Club workdays for the purpose of orientation and boat maintenance. Members are expected to contribute to the Club in some meaningful way; the Club seeks members who are experienced with boat and engine maintenance, as well as with sail training, boat cleaning, bookkeeping, event planning and management, community outreach, project management, and other aspects of running our Club.
