About the Club
Keystone Lake, Tulsa, Oklahoma — a member-run sailing club built by its own membership since 1965.
The Club — Established in 1965
Thank you for your interest in Windycrest Sailing Club. Many members feel it's the best club anywhere. It's a terrific mix of keelboats, centerboard boats, racing, cruising, and social events that offers something for all sailors. Lots of clubs can tout facilities, size, location, price, and amenities — Windycrest stands with the best of them, but what sets us apart, and is our most important asset, is the membership itself.
Club members contribute their time and skills to better the club. All improvements and events are planned and executed by the membership. It's a special relationship between the club, the members, and the individual — this "Windycrest Spirit," a helpful, friendly, responsible can-do attitude that past and current members exude, started back in 1965 and has built Windycrest into the special place that it is today.
Our History
Windycrest celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015 and commemorated the event with a special book containing articles written by various members of the club. You can read about the formation, and the first and second twenty-five years of the club's history, in our Golden Anniversary Book.
