The Caltech Sailing Club Sailing is a fantastic sport, and Southern California is a great place to do it. No matter what your interests, dinghies or keelboats, racing or cruising, freshwater, coastal, or offshore, you can do it all here.
Sailing here is characterized by steady winds, moderate seas, and fair weather.
There are at least eight different islands in the area that you can sail to, with destinations ranging from lively Avalon Harbor at Catalina Island to the secluded islands of Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa. There are many bustling harbors around LA, and each has its core of dedicated racers. Between 1994 and 1996, the Caltech Sailing Club was a moderately active club with just under 100 members. Maintaining an active club requires leadership, a dedicated core of members, and, ideally, suitable equipment. Due to shortages of all of the preceding requirements, the club is currently inactive.
