SHARING SEAFARING TRADITIONS!
When at sea, Poulsbo Yacht Club members “call-sign” is “Viking Ships.” Members have promoted safe boating and having fun doing so for the past 66 years!
Poulsbo Yacht Club’s traditions include the joyful Lighted Ships Parade each December for the past 53 years and 23 years teaching the art of sailing and knot tying to the next generation. This summer PYC presents its highly acclaimed public Summer Sail Camps with a brand-new fleet of “Viking Ships” one of which is on display today.
Past Commodore Myers at the helm & Commodore Earl & Lena Hunt proudly display the Norwegian Flag & fly the Poulsbo Yacht Club’s burgee (pennant).
The Larson Family’s Classic, fully restored 1935 Ford Pick-up transports one of the brand-new Learn to Sail boats, with PYC members young & young-at-heart joining the fun.
Poulsbo Yacht Club is a social club, you don’t have to be a boater to join!
