ABOUT

Corinthian Yacht Club of Edmonds was founded in 1980 to create a community focused on sailing.   We also welcome powerboaters and have several members that have transitioned from sailing.  They are welcome to serve as committee boat for races, cruise and socialize with us.   Many members have been sailing for decades and some just began this year.

We are a very friendly, supportive and welcoming club.  We have no clubhouse and are run by volunteers.  This allows us to have very affordable dues.   Our board meetings are open and are held the third Thursday of month (except August) at the Port of Edmonds offices.   Members enjoy reciprocal moorage privileges.

Most boats are moored in Edmonds, but we have members moored in Shilshole, Kingston & Everett.   We currently have about 40 members.   Many boats have come and gone since 1980, and we've started to keep a list:  previous club boats.

Racing: 

About 15 boats race actively.  We welcome beginner racers.  Races are scored on a handicap system.  The club has four race series during the spring, summer and fall.  We sponsor one large race, Foulweather Bluff, in the Fall.   Crewing on the committee boat is a great way to check out racing.

Cruising:

We currently have four cruises, Port Madison, Port Ludlow, Poulsbo & Everett.  We would like to expand our cruise program, if this interests you,, we're looking for a cruise fleet captain!

Social:

We currently have four social events, our Annual Awards potluck, a gathering after the last race of our summer series, a Fall potluck and our Change of Watch/Holiday dinner.   We also gather informally at the Salish Brewing Boathouse after races and board meetings.   All are welcome to join us.   Have ideas and are willing to help, please contact us. 

Education:

We are in the process of creating a series of educational events.   Topic we think may be of interest: Person Overboard Rescue, Diesel and/or Outboard maintenance, Batteries/Electronics/Solar, Gear Swaps, Spring/Fall Maintenance Days,  Navigation/Weather, VHF/AIS/Radar, Docking/Anchoring, Cruising Destinations, Sail Design, Sail Trim, Sail Rigging, Soft Tackle, Racing Rules & Techniques.   If you have interest or expertise in these topics please contact us.
