What’s the difference between a Yacht Club and the Santa Barbara Sailing Club?
SBSC is classified as a yacht club and we control our facilities including our storage yard and our shared hoist and pier facility through agreements with the City of Santa Barbara. We do not currently have a free-standing clubhouse, though we do have meeting facilities in the Harbor. In keeping with our mission of providing lower cost access to sailboat racing, our costs are typically from hundreds to several thousand dollars less per year than some yacht clubs.
