The Smedley Chronicles
Updated May, 22/08



KYC is located in Kelowna, British Columbia, in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, a region renowned for its orchards, vineyards and spectacular scenery. We are situated near the mid point of Okanagan Lake, which is more than 80 miles long and has in excess of 200 miles of shoreline.

2008 will mark our 63rd year of boating and socializing at KYC. A major change in 2006 was an increase in our regular membership from 800 previously, to a new level of 1000. Our membership wait list is now smaller than ever and we are accepting membership applications from those who wish to participate in the largest yacht club in the Okanagan Valley.

Our membership includes regular, honorary, and life members along with their respective spouses, as well as junior and intermediate members. There are now more than 2000 people who are part of the KYC family.

2006 also saw an expansion of our moorage facilities. We relocated our north breakwater to accommodate additional vessels. Our moorage basin now offers 20', 25', 30',35' and 40' slips and with the new addition, provides space for over 600 boats.

We are extremely proud of our education program. For those wanting to learn to sail, the club offers training for adults and a full junior program for members and non-members alike; we have educated thousands of students on safe boating practices in their school classrooms.

The club provides lively competition for sailors with organized racing
every Wednesday or Sunday, depending on the time of year and hosts a minimum of two annual regattas. Our Staff Captain keeps the cruising contingent active with invasions to other yacht clubs, dock parties and bus trips to boat shows in Canada and the U.S.A. The Kelowna Yacht Club is a social and family club. Our members of all ages enjoy many social activities such as our annual Boat & Leisure Show, Commodore's Ball and Sail Past, a New Years Eve Dinner and Dance, Wassail and numerous other functions all held in the Club's own facilities. As a yacht club we are actively involved in the community and host events to which all of Kelowna is invited. We are also the home of the Kelowna Power & Sail Squadron and their many boating education courses are held in the Club facilities.

Casual, fine dining and catering are available under the care of a friendly and professional staff. For more details on our services, please browse this web site or contact our Club Manager Randy Prost for further information regarding our Club's facilities, membership opportunities, or other subjects related to our many social and sailing programs.
