West Vancouver Yacht Club Celebrates 75 Years
By patrick matishak.
While yacht clubs are founded on all things boating, and generally “messing about in boats,” it is the people who make them truly special. In 1945, when six like-minded boaters came together to sign the charter forming the West Vancouver Yacht Club , they did not foresee a 75th Anniversary celebration in the club’s future.
In the preliminary years, the club established a few temporary moorage locations. At best, 12 mooring buoys were located in Pilot Cove. A permanent home base for the club appeared unattainable. Late in 1950, during usual chitchat amongst members moored at a weekend gathering, a significant plan was hatched: a small group of members would form a syndicate and create a permanent mooring facility. In quick succession, discussions took place that lead to a group of 18 members who purchased property at their desired location, West Vancouver’s Fisherman’s Cove. They dredged, piled and supplied floats, which were turned over to West Vancouver Yacht Club’s ownership, management and operation. In return, the syndicate members were offered reduced moorage fees and membership dues.
When the syndicate purchased the first lot in Fisherman’s Cove, a small white cabin on the property became the Clubhouse. Over the course of a few years, additional adjacent properties were acquired, assembling the land and water lots the club enjoys today. A new clubhouse was built in 1963. A Yachting Centre was added in 2002, to serve as the headquarters for the expanding, very active, youth sailing program. To date, the clubhouse has undergone several renovations, with the most recent and significant enhancement completed in 2012. The dock configuration was redesigned in 2013. Subsequently, a redevelopment project eliminated some smaller moorage, accommodating larger and beamier vessels. This redevelopment further supported the club’s environmental stewardship efforts, earning the Georgia Strait Alliance’s Clean Marine BC Five-Anchor Eco-Rating certification.
Over the years, the club developed outstations at Kendrick Island in the Gulf Islands, and Elliot Bay in Howe Sound. Outstations in Telegraph Harbour and Pender Harbour are also very popular cruising destinations for members.
Two annual club signature events are the Southern Straits Yacht Race and the Pumpkin Bowl Regatta. Inaugurated in 1969, the Easter weekend Southern Straits attracts racers from around the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Crews come to compete, make new acquaintances, rekindle old ones and share in the camaraderie of sailboat racing. Celebrating 21 years, Pumpkin Bowl is a junior/intermediate event with a Halloween theme. The regatta has become the premier local dinghy racing event for young sailors, attracting over 200 competitors annually. These events, in addition to a number of races and regattas, including the summer Wednesday Evening Race Series, and the winter Snowflake Races, make for an active and engaged sailing fleet.
Cruisers are not left out of the fun. Frequent cruises and gatherings up and down our beautiful coast have been chronicled over the years in the Foghorn, a monthly WVYC publication.
The West Vancouver Yacht Club has always been a progressive, family friendly club, with active and engaged members cruising, racing, socializing, volunteering and supporting each other. Our success is attributed to retaining these values as times and circumstances have transitioned through 75 years. Looking ahead, we see a bright future, in continuing to build an active and engaged membership of all ages, who share a passion for “messing about in boats”.

West Vancouver Yacht Club Fund for Youth Sport
Late in the fall of 1945, several West Vancouver residents combined their energies to form a yacht club that would serve the North Shore. The West Vancouver Yacht Club was brought into being on December 21, 1945, with a membership of 45 and six boats.
Today, the West Vancouver Yacht Club is a leader in youth and adult sailing programs in Canada – a friendly, family-oriented club which strongly supports active community living. The West Vancouver Yacht Club Jr Race Team is one of the most active junior racing programs in Western Canada. The club has actively supported youth sailing for over 20 years, and athletes from WVYC have gone on to compete in national and world championship regattas.
Proceeds from the Fund will support those amateur sport activities that are open to the general public. Funds will not support the member-oriented activities of the club.
The West Vancouver Yacht Club is a BC Nonprofit Society and will receive disbursements from the funds through a partnership agreement with Sport BC .

Business name : West Vancouver Yacht Club
A yacht club is formed by a group of people with a common interest in using boats to get away from land and enjoy cruising local and distant waters, racing for the thrill of personal combat against other sailors and the elements, or just messing about on boats. In the children’s classic “The Wind in the Willows”, it is described thus: “There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats…or with boats…in or out of ’em, it doesn’t matter.”
West Vancouver Yacht Club has just such beginnings and aspirations. Formed in 1945, the Club consisted of 45 people with only 6 boats between the lot of them. In 1946 the first Sailpast was held, and Club members and friends have been enjoying this annual event that starts the boating season every year since.
Humble beginnings, started by the dreams of a few, moved on to acquire the foreshore rights in Fisherman’s Cove in 1951 with a small cottage for a clubhouse. By 1963 the clubhouse you see overlooking the moorage was completed and then extensively updated in 2012. Much of the work carried out on Club projects is through members’ volunteering labour and expertise; volunteering is a mainstay of Club participation and camaraderie.
Many accomplishments over the years have contributed immensely to the enjoyment all the members have for “messing about in boats”. The annual Southern Straits Yacht Race brings sailors and boats to the Straits of Georgia to challenge each other in the boisterous spring weather conditions. Outstations have been added at Gambier Island and Kendrick Island and more recently with leased space in Pender Harbour and Telegraph Harbour. The Club sail training program, designed to help youngsters and adults become proficient in the skills of sailing, is now one of the premier such programs available to anyone in the community, not just Club members. To serve this program, the Sailing Center was built in 2002 as a focus for activity and learning in all aspects of small boat sailing.

- After Two-Year Hiatus, Southern Straits is Back!
The 52 nd Southern Straits Classic hosted by West Vancouver Yacht Club is set for April 15 – 17, 2022 after taking two years off due to Covid-19.
They don’t call it a classic for nothin’! For sailboat racers around the Salish Sea, the year’s first major opportunity to stretch your sea legs on a significant distance race is Southern Straits. It’s famously fun, occasionally very sporty, often quite chilly… and totally worth the effort. Anyone who has hunkered down on the rail for a night on the strait and experienced the triumph of crossing the often-tricky finish line knows that it is one of the more rewarding experiences in boat racing.
Note for U.S. sailors planning to attend: keep up to date on Canada’s entry requirements for travelers as the date approaches — vaccination is currently required.
The racing community has dearly missed this big race in 2020 and 2021, and many are eager to come out for “Straits” this year. It’s back, and hopefully you can come test your mettle and skills, and have some fun on the glorious waters of the Georgia Strait.
Here’s all the info from race organizers:
The West Vancouver Yacht Club (WVYC) is excited to welcome back the Southern Straits Regatta after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 52 nd running of the Easter weekend race will see sailors crisscrossing Georgia Strait testing their strategy, skill, and endurance while racing overnight in early season conditions.
The Short, Medium, and Long courses range from 70 – 133 nautical miles. In addition, there is an Inshore Course (approximately 20 nautical miles) that will be conducted during daylight hours on Good Friday.
Race registration is now open and closes on Sunday, April 10 th . An early bird discount is available until February 28 th .
The WVYC will also be offering a one-day Coastal Personal Survival Course on April 3 rd for those who need to renew or take a Safety at Sea course. Registration details are online at Coastal Personal Survival Course .
WVYC is inviting all racers to participate in this challenging yachting tradition. The races will take place over the weekend of April 15-17, 2022. Starting sequences will begin at 10:25 a.m. on Friday, April 15.
WVYC welcomes everyone to come down to Dundarave Pier in West Vancouver to see the parade of boats line up between nine and 10 a.m. and cheer on the competitors before the race begins.
