The Wooden Hull Yacht Club is dedicated to bringing together people who are interested in cruising and racing wooden yachts. Our goal is to stimulate interest and continuing love and respect for the skill, design and workmanship which only a wooden hull boat can reflect. As classic sloops, schooners, ketches and yawls disappear we aim to encourage the restoration and preservation of sailing maritime heritage. Our members take pride in the ownership and appearance of their sail and power boats and wish to share with and educate others in the beauty of classic wooden vessels.

WHYC Eric Erickson, Alamitos Bay / Oil Islands - July 17th  Rescheduled !!!

(Chair - Chris Frost)

This on the water event starts with a race around the islands off Long Beach and finishes with a get together behind Island White onboard one of our larger club boats (previously Dirigo II). In the old days this event was one of the largest on the West coast attracting over a hundred wooden sailboats. Although now more modest this event has been really enjoyed by those who attend. Smaller boats are welcome to raft up with the host boat and a whaler will be on hand to ferry over to the party participants who have anchored or moored behind the island. This is a great event for those that aren't into racing, spend the afternoon in the anchorage watching the racers and join us for the party in the evening.
