Our Story
In July 1931, eight young men formed what is now the West Coast Yacht Club. Inasmuch as the charter members were building boats in their backyards, a sawhorse was selected as the keynote of the club burgee, and the original name was the HI-N-DRY yacht club. A combination of the school colors of the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Southern California was chosen for the burgee, resulting in a sky-blue sawhorse superimposed upon a field of cardinal and gold.
Founded in Los Angeles, California, our membership now spans the Southern California coast.
Since the inception of WCYC, its burgee has been flown by members on cruises to many of the romantic ports on the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas, including such places as Alaska, New Zealand, and the Panama Canal.
