Vallarta Yacht Club Unveils New Mural as Part of an Exciting Renovation!
As a proud member of Vallarta Yacht Club (VYC), I'm thrilled to share that our beloved club is undergoing a significant makeover, with a striking new mural taking center stage. The renovation project, which began in May and is set to continue through October, aims to revitalize our club and enhance our members' experience.
At the heart of this transformation is a captivating mural by renowned artist Daniel Garra. This stunning piece of art draws inspiration from the Banderas Bay International Regatta, one of the oldest and most prestigious international sailing events on Mexico's west coast. This regatta, long sponsored by VYC, has been a cornerstone of our club's deep connection to the broader sailing community.
Olympic Dreams- From Banderas Bay to Paris
Have you ever met an Olympian? If you spend enough time at VYC, you might just cross paths with one. Our famous bay has been a training ground for several Olympians and aspiring Olympians, who have come through the club for various levels of support. From Tanya Callas, who competed in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, to Elena Oetling Ramirez, who represented Mexico in Paris this year, we are privileged to welcome these remarkable athletes and their competitive sailing spirit into our community.
After competing in the Paris Olympic Dinghy Sailing, Elena Oetling Ramirz eloquently expressed her feelings on competition and the philosophical wisdom in such a young person. She acknowledged support from VYC by saying, "Gracias @vallartayachtclub por el apoyo y cariño incondicional." - "Thank you @vallartayachtclub for the unconditional support and love."

Why Be a Member of VYC?
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus is credited with the quote, “The only thing that is constant is change”. Those of us who have been members of Vallarta Yacht Club over the years have seen this bit of wisdom validated repeatedly.
So much has changed at VYC in the the past year: our moved from our home of 22 years, movement to a new, much larger space, a change in policy that allowed non-members to use the club's bar and restaurant, and the requirement to build out a space much bigger and more flexible than our previous clubhouse. Through all that, our members have done what they always do - stepped up to make our new space a home for our VYC family.
