The mission of the Ventura Sailing Club is to introduce and invite people to take advantage of two of our great local natural resources, the Santa Barbara Channel and the Channel Islands. We hope to achieve this by motivating participation in sailing by hosting annual racing, cruising, and volunteer events in these areas. We also participate in the established local racing calendar by helping to procure crew for boats in need, providing opportunities for those without boats to become involved in the local racing and cruising scene, and cooperating with/assisting other organizations with their events. In these ways we hope to help develop a community of boating enthusiasts.
