What is Fairwind Yacht Club?

Fairwind Yacht Club, an all volunteer sailing cooperative in Marina del Rey and Channel Islands Harbor, is the ideal way for boating enthusiasts to have year-round access to sailboats without the high costs of ownership. Membership openings ebb and flow throughout the year. Fill out our membership application and mail it with an undated check in to be considered.

The best way to learn about our club is to read our FAQ and attend one of our monthly Open Houses.

Established in 1966 as a nonprofit corporation, Fairwind Yacht Club is a family oriented association whose members enjoy training, quality sailing, cruising and fun with fellow members who share a common love of sailing, the sea and a sense of community among our sailors. We make sure that the volunteer work is fun and rewarding, and the quarterly dues are low. Club benefits are numerous, and include year-round access to a variety of sailboats, ASA training, and private and group cruises to nearby marinas and to the Channel Islands.

Reservations for use of our many boats, which range from 14 to 40 feet, are made online, and checked-out members are free to bring family and guests along. Restrooms, showers and parking facilities are all available for members and guests.
