Poulsbo Yacht Club
About Us:
Poulsbo Yacht Club was founded in 1956 with the express purpose of promoting pleasure boating activities in Puget Sound. PYC is an "equal member" yacht club, in that both husband and wife must join. There are approximately 450 members, many of whom are active. The initiation fee is $800 per person, yearly dues are $175 per person. An additional Work or Pay obligation of 12 hours of work per year or $15 per hour is required of each member. PYC is an all-volunteer club. Approximately 55% of the members are power boaters, 45% are sailors. Poulsbo is a small town of about 6,071 with a strong Nordic tradition. This "small town flavor" is retained with pride in our club. There is a strong representation of long distance (sail) cruisers and predicted log (power) racers in PYC. Assets approximate $1.2M in a new clubhouse, workshop, uplands, and 23 club-owned slips in the PYC marina. Everything is new and paid for, we have no debts. Long term maintenance plans, with funding, are in place for the clubhouse, workshop, marina, and DNR lease growth.
