Sally Poorman is in the process of finalizing a major re-vamp of the BYC websites, to make information more navigable, bring the site design current, and add some exciting new features for members. This should be rolled out by the end of April, or very early May. One of our new features will be separate websites within the overall website, for Sail Fleet, Cruising, Social Programs, Youth and BYC History and Past Commodores. This is our call for photographs for incorporation into our new design. We are particularly looking for youth sailing photos, and club photos over the years through our new remodel. If you have photos to share , please email Sally. Thank you!

Sink the Dinghy provides Scholarship!
Under the leadership of the Sink the Dinghy Fundraising Committee, the Bellingham Yacht Club (BYC) has generously funded a $10,000 2-year full-ride scholarship for a student pursuing a degree in Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences at Bellingham Technical College. BYC also played an active role in identifying the scholarship recipient. They wanted to provide hope, opportunity and a path to economic self-sufficiency to someone who had endured extreme hardship and overcome challenges such as addiction, abuse, homelessness and economic dislocation. BYC awarded the scholarship to Parris Johnson who is a graduate of the Light House Mission’s New Life Program.
