Race Management & Resources

The Kelowna Yacht Club boasts a rich history of sailing and racing excellence. Celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2025, the Club has a long and proud tradition on the water. Over the decades, KYC members have achieved notable finishes worldwide and have represented the Club on international stages.

Our race management expertise is highly regarded in the Okanagan, across the province, nationally, and even globally. This reputation has enabled our Fleet Captains and prominent sailors to host regattas that resonate nationally and internationally.
