The Long Beach Sailing Foundation is an integral part of the Long Beach Yacht Club Community.
We are a IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, the Foundation focuses on facilitating sailing education, training, support for racing and regattas.
The Foundation’s activities are built around their fleet of 11 identical Catalina-37 racing yachts donated by Catalina Yachts for world-class Match Racing. Maintained to the highest standards for the annual Congressional Cup regatta, the yachts are used extensively for the other Foundation’s programs.
Particularly touching are the responses of young people – chosen by their teachers, who are on board as crews in the weekly late-afternoon “Wet Wednesday” races held most weeks during the summer.
Experienced skippers go along to be sure the kids are in the midst of the excitement of the races.
