Ventura Sailing Club is located in Ventura, California. With two public harbors and close proximity to the Northern Channel Islands, this area is often referred to as the “Gateway” to the Channel Islands. The Santa Barbara Channel is also well known for its challenging and diverse sailing conditions: the area has even been used as a training ground for America’s Cup competitors.
The Ventura Sailing Club was founded in 1975 with the objective to provide planning and leadership for a recreational program of boating activities centered in Ventura County, California. In its current incarnation, the VSC has focused on the utilization of the Channel Islands National Park and the Santa Barbara Channel as excellent grounds for staging sailboat races, as well as a premier destination for all cruising activities, for the benefit of the local boating community.

The mission of the Ventura Sailing Club is to introduce and invite people to take advantage of two of our great local natural resources, the Santa Barbara Channel and the Channel Islands. We hope to achieve this by motivating participation in sailing by hosting annual racing, cruising, and volunteer events in these areas. We also participate in the established local racing calendar by helping to procure crew for boats in need, providing opportunities for those without boats to become involved in the local racing and cruising scene, and cooperating with/assisting other organizations with their events. In these ways we hope to help develop a community of boating enthusiasts.
