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. Approximately 55% of the members are power boaters, 45% are sailors. Poulsbo is a small town of about 9,200 with a strong Nordic tradition. This “small town flavor” is retained with pride in their club. There is a strong representation of long distance (sail) cruisers and predicted log (power) racers in PYC. Long term maintenance plans, with funding, are in place for the clubhouse, workshop, marina and DNR lease growth.
