The SWYC is located on Whidbey Island Washington. Although the Club does not have a permanent club house we enjoy the use of the Honeymoon Lake Community Club's clubhouse on the shores of Holmes Harbour and a few miles north of Freeland on Honeymoon Bay Rd

The Club was formed in 2003 with a few people who were inspired by our founding Commodore, the late Ken Sasson. He was a man with great passion for education and for the ways of the winds and tides. He was also deeply committed to making boating accessible and enjoyable for all ages. The Club has grown rapidly and in 2007 has more than 60 memberships, and more than 100 members. The commitment of the membership in setting the SWYC vision and goals respect and support his memory.

In 2007 the members ownership of boats over twenty feet totalled 37, almost equally shared between power and sail.

The Clubs monthly programs are chosen for their relevance to the sea, the environment,local interests and non-members are welcome to attend.
