WHAT'S NEW AT VYC

Vallarta Sailing Foundation: Helping to make a passion for sailing a reality

Sailing isn’t just a sport - it’s a passion, a challenge, and a lifelong adventure.

The Vallarta Sailing Foundation (VSF) is at the heart of this spirit in Banderas Bay, working tirelessly to give young sailors the opportunity to chase their dreams on the water.

Their mission is simple yet powerful: to support young sailors as they grow from beginners to national, international, and even Olympic-level competitors. Thanks to their efforts, local sailors have had the chance to race in major events like the Nacionales CONADE, the National Optimist Championships, and the Mayan Wind Fest. Some such as Elena Oetling have even gone on to represent Mexico on the world stage during the Olympics in Paris!

From Ocean Adventures to VYC: Meet Elizabeth & Alan

After 12 years exploring the seas, this adventurous couple drops anchor at Vallarta Yacht Club!

Vallarta Yacht Club is delighted to welcome two adventurous new members to our community: Elizabeth (Baggs) and Alan (Stretcher). Their story is a wonderful example of a shared love for sailing, discovery, and the freedom of life on the water.

Alan and Elizabeth came together later in life, marrying in 2008 on a rare warm and sunny spring day in San Francisco Bay—aboard Vivacia, their brand-new Caliber 40LRC monohull sailboat. Just three years later, after Elizabeth retired from Chevron and Alan sold his film transfer and corporate video production company, they turned left out the Golden Gate Bridge and began a new chapter they had always dreamed of.

Guests were welcomed with refreshments, light snacks, and plenty of friendly conversation as they mingled with current members and learned more about the club’s programs, events, and facilities. The event was also an opportunity to take advantage of the Summer Membership Promotion, which some found appealing.

⛵ Junior Sailing Demo Day a Splashing Success!

Kids coaching kids creates excitement and connection!

On Saturday, June 14, Vallarta Yacht Club hosted a Junior Sailing Demo Day, welcoming local kids and their parents to learn more about what our youth sailing program is all about.

What made the day extra special was that our junior sailors were the ones in charge—acting as coaches and guides for the day. They demonstrated how to rig and launch the boats, answered questions, and then took the prospective kids out for a short sail around the marina. For many, it was their first time on a sailboat, and the smiles said it all.

☀️ Celebrating Summer Sailstice on the Bay

VYC Joins the Global Sailing Celebration with a Day of Sun, Sails & Smiles

On Saturday, June 21, Vallarta Yacht Club took to the water to celebrate Summer Sailstice, a global holiday that unites sailors from around the world in a shared passion for life under sail. Marked annually on the weekend closest to the summer solstice, Summer Sailstice encourages everyone—whether experienced sailors or first-time crew—to hoist their sails and celebrate the longest day of the year.

VYC certainly rose to the occasion!
