Why Own a Boat When There's Fairwind Yacht Club?

EXPERIENCE THE FUN OF SAILING
without the high costs
It's a beautiful day in Southern California and a steady southwesterly breeze is blowing - the perfect day for a sail. If you yearn to be out on the water, but don't own a boat, come and join Fairwind Yacht Club where you can enjoy the fun of sailing for a minimal quarterly fee.
Fairwind Yacht Club, an all volunteer sailing cooperative in Marina del Rey and Channel Islands Harbor (Oxnard), is the ideal way for boating enthusiasts to have year-round access to sailboats without the high costs of ownership. Established in 1966 as a nonprofit corporation, Fairwind Yacht Club is a family oriented association whose members enjoy free training, quality sailing, cruising and fun with fellow members who share a common love of sailing and the sea. The quarterly dues are painless. The volunteer work is fun and rewarding,. The benefits are numerous and include year-round access to sailboats of varying lengths and types, free training and group cruises organized by the Club to nearby marinas, Catalina Island, other offshore islands and for whale watching.
