CYC Education

At Corinthian Yacht Club of Bellingham, we are committed to providing our members with educational opportunities that promote safe boating, environmental awareness, boat maintenance skills, technology awareness and favorite boating destinations. We offer presentations by invited speakers or from one of our own members during our monthly meetings, and hold hands-on classes on the water and on land.


Presentations at our monthly club meetings are recorded and can be accessed by members through clicking on the clickable image below, titled "Recordings of Monthly Yacht Club Meetings and Presentations".
Note that since May 2022, our meetings are in-person again and since September 2023 we are not live streaming the meetings any more.

Our April 2023 MOB/COB Lifesling Training with ASA Instructor Margaret Pommert and Mike Reed had 30 participants and we learned a lot in both the virtual classroom and the hands-on class. Click Lifesling Resources  for useful links and a training handout.

From our monthly meeting on September 10, 2024



Officially protected only in 2016, the Great Bear Rainforest is the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world and extends more than 300 mi north to south and from the mainland to the offshore islands.  It supports all of the original land and marine fish and wildlife species including the ‘spirit bear’, sea wolves, grizzly bear, sea otters, Pacific whale species, Pacific salmon, and diverse seabirds.  The small human population are mostly of Indigenous bands.  They have fought to conserve this vast wilderness and are now leading in sustaining it.  This program will touch on the nature and peoples of this fascinating place and tips for cruising its waters.    

Andy Hansen is a professor of Ecology at Montana State University in Bozeman. He and his wife Nora Martin are CYC members and have enjoyed numerous voyages in the Great Bear Rainforest.
