Welcome to the King Harbor Youth Foundation, a non-profit corporation created to promote youth sailing in Southern California. Founded in 1982 by King Harbor Yacht Club members, who foresaw the Club's future in the development of young sailing enthusiasts.
Not only has that been realized, but the program has grown in size and scope, offering opportunities for all youth in the community to participate and experience the thrill of sailing and develop skills and confidence that come with good seamanship and the Corinthian yachting tradition. We are Proud to Support our Juniors and run programs in instruction, competitive racing, and community outreach for children 7 years of age and up. In 2018 we served 700 children in the summer sailing program, provided coaching for talented Youth Sailing Race Teams have been hosting multiple South Bay High School Sailing Team's at our Sailing Center.
Now in its 39th year, KHYF offers a full range of private and group sailing programs and boat rentals for ADULTS and all ability levels at the King Harbor Yacht Club in the King Harbor Marina in Redondo Beach CA.
We have our New Channels that reaches out to various groups and organizations to get people to come and enjoy the water. When here there participants have the opportunity to kayak, sail and ride around in a motorboat. It's also a great volunteer opportunity for our participants as well!
The foundation supports the program through annual grants, generous friends and tax deductible equipment donations, program fees and Annual Sail-A-Thon & Other fundraising efforts.
