YBYC

Yaquina Bay Yacht Club (YBYC) is Newport's oldest yacht club. YBYC was established in October of 1947, at the request of the Newport Chamber of Commerce. The Club's main focus then - and still today - is the promotion of recreational boating in the Newport area.

In November of 2004 we dedicated our Clubhouse, built by volunteers and serving as a meeting place for our expanding membership. The Clubhouse is located on the Bayfront, and has a beautiful view of the waterfront and the Yaquina Bay Bridge. The Clubhouse is available to rent for your meetings and special events. We are dedicated to fun, education, safety and good sportsmanship in boating. We offer many social activities for the enjoyment of our members. Please consider joining.

The NOR and Brochure for the Bridge to Bridge for this summer is now available on the B2B Race page.

These forms (and all others for YBYC) can also be found on the Forms page.

Many people wonder how to actually get their feet wet with sailing, especially after seeing the bay filled with beautiful sailboats racing on a Wednesday night in summer. It is much easier than most would think, thanks to the upcoming classes for adults this summer in both Small Boat (aka, Dinghy) sailing and Keelboat sailing.

Check out the Classes page for information on Adult Small Boat Sailing and Adult Keelboat Sailing.

The dates for the Wednesday night races have been updated on the Racing page...Also please review the updated instruction and entry forms here.

Start planning now! Information on dates, locations, and registration for this summer's youth sailing program classes have been posted. See the Classes page for more information, or go direct to the Oregon Boating Foundation site at http://www.oregonboatingfoundation.org/.

The dates are set for this summer for basic and intermediate kayak classes! This is a wonderful way to get up close and personal with the water, and to see everything from a new perspective. Classes are taught by ACA Certified Coastal Kayak Instructors, and all equipment is provided. See the Classes page for more information.
