General membership meetings are held throughout the year, as necessary, except the months of June, July, and August. Meetings typically include a short business agenda and a program or training activity of some kind.  Locations are announced in advance and listed on the club Calendar.

Brief meetings also take place after each race to announce race results, and a barbeque or similar event takes place at the conclusion of each race series and special races- such as the Saratoga Sprint and 'Round Whidbey.  WINSA members and non-members participating in the races are encouraged to attend these post-race events.

Membership in WINSA and/or the Oak Harbor Yacht Club is not a requirement for participation in our races, but is encouraged.
