Please feel free to browse around the

want to join an event!
The Port of Washington Yacht Club
(POWYC) was formed in 2002 to bring boaters together for several
reasons. We promote safe boating and work for a clean, attractive,
environmentally healthy marina and river system. Of course we also
organize cruising and social events to destinations on the Potomac
River and beyond for the benefit of all yacht club members.
POWYC is affiliated with the Potomac
River Yacht Clubs Association, Chesapeake Bay Yacht Clubs Association
and the Yachting Club of America. These affiliations offer members
reciprocal privileges at hundreds of yacht clubs throughout the United
States.
Currently we have over 120 members
consisting largely of boaters in the Gangplank Marina, including
live-aboard and recreational boaters. There are also full-time cruising
members as well as associate members who do not currently own boats but
enjoy the benefits of belonging to a vibrant, fun club.
On this website you will find
information about the club; announcements, a calendar of events and
other useful links including contact information for the current Bridge
members. Please email us if you have questions.
Stories or cruising logs to share with other members via the website or
our newsletter are most welcome!
Thank
you,
Brian Thompson
Commodore
P.S.
Each Sunday we hold ‘Captains Coffee’ on A-Dock
which is a good way to meet neighbors and other boaters in a casual
setting.
