Foundation About Us

Mission Statement: 

The Shoalwater Bay Yacht Club Sailing Association is dedicated to promoting the joy of sailing and fostering a love for the maritime environment and tradition within our community. Our mission is to raise funds, secure donations, and receive grants to advance sailing education and youth and family sailing programs in Pacific County, WA. Through our efforts, we aim to provide opportunities and scholarships for young people to develop skills, confidence, and a deep connection to the water, ensuring the future of sailing in our region.

• Educational Workshops: From hands-on boat repair classes to advanced sailing techniques, our workshops provide valuable learning opportunities for sailors of all skill levels.
• Community Engagement: We collaborate with local schools, community organizations, and businesses to promote sailing as a rewarding recreational and educational activity.
