Description
Bay-Waveland Yacht Club by Kathy K. McClellan is a photograph taken in Bay St. Louis, MS.
The Bay-Waveland Yacht Club, a private club is located on the Bay of St. Louis in Bay St. Louis, MS on the eastern end of the Cedar Point area. The club has a long and interesting history that has survived a depression, wars and hurricanes. It was originally founded in 1896.
In 1901 the BWYC became a charter member of the Southern Gulf Coast Yachting Association and in 1922 was admitted into the Gulf Yachting Association.
Reorganization of the club was accomplished in 1921 (as the Bay-Waveland Yacht and Athletic Club),in 1949 and once again in recent years.
The clubhouse built in 1949 stood in the same location as the present clubhouse but was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. The present clubhouse was dedicated on July 1, 2008.
Members of the BWYC have won sailing awards both regionally and nationally. There are sailing programs for both youth and adults. Information for these events can be found on their website.
