Club Temporarily Closed
Ahoy Sequoia
In an attempt to slow the coronavirus outbreak, officials from six counties across the Bay Area in California issued a “Shelter in Place” order for all residents.
In light of this new information Sequoia Yacht Club will be closed to all members. We will keep you informed as to when we will reopen. We will remain closed at least until the "Shelter in Place" order is lifted.
You can get up to date information by going to www.smchealth.org.
This situation is something we never could have imagined. Your support and understanding is so appreciated.
Be safe.

About Sequoia Racing
The Sequoia Yacht Club hosts 52 days of scheduled racing each plus additional on and off-the-water events throughout the year. Click on individual race series links below or download a copy of the 2020 racing program flyer here to learn more.
While competitive, the goal of racing at Sequoia is to foster sportsmanship, friendship and seamanship. There is often a barbeque or dinner after each race where racers can gather to discuss race tactics, the wind, the currents and winning/losing strategies over a beer.
The major series sponsored by Sequoia Yacht Club includes:
- Redwood Cup Pursuit Series - Davis King
- Winter Series - Jeff Stine
- Single/ Double-handed Racing - Anja Bog
- Wednesday Night Sunset Race Series - Mark Wommack
- Summer Series - TBA
Sequoia also sponsors a number of other events, some of which are held in conjunction with PICYA, including:
