I took the basic keelboating class (ala Groupon), and was quite surprised that they offered a $400.00 membership for an additional $50.00 on top of my already competitively-priced class. Have rented the Catalina 22's a half-dozen times since then, and am ALWAYS happy with the experience. I like the low-key way they do things... You pay for your boat in the office, and then just go down to the dock and pick whichever boat suits you. MUCH better than a lot of places that are so rule-bound. I have always had a pleasant time renting their boats. This is also one of the few places that will let you single-hand (aka go out by yourself) a boat which is a GREAT experience on San Diego Bay. If you're thinking about taking a class, day sailing, or joining a club, this place is FABULOUS!

I've chartered (bareboat) a multiday drip from HYC a dozen times. No more. We were on the boat 3 nights, 2 days (we paid for "early boarding"). The boat was filthy. We found a used tampon in a cubby. I have a long list of things that were wrong with the boat. We sailed from San Diego Bay to Mission bay, anchored there, sailed back the next day. I held by breath waiting for something to break much of the time. We rented a Catalina 320. This was the first multi-day sail I did from HYC in about 10 years. As "SYC" they were great! But there is no indication that the boats get any of the TLC the desperately need. My guess is they are running them to the ground before getting out of the business.

Boat poorly maintained, lost engine at sea due to electrical faults.

BEWARE!!!! We rented a sailboat in August 2021 to take a 5 day trip to Catalina island from Long Beach. When we arrived at the location address we found the marina to be in shambles. The docks were old and falling apart. It seemed very unsafe to even walk along the rickety wooden paths to the boat. There wasn't anyone around to greet us or even guide us to the slip of the boat we rented, but we managed to find someone from another company who told us where we would find the boat. We found the slip with a very old sailboat parked in it. This boat that we paid over $4000 to rent was disgusting, in need of repair, filthy, and smelled terribly of mold. The condition of the boat was uninhabitable to say the least. We couldn't bear the smells of the boat from dock let alone standing inside of the boat. I do not recommend renting from this company.

definitely a memorable trip but not in the best of ways. we rented out a boat for our friend's bachelorette party for four hours to have a nice, relaxing time out in the ocean. Our captain (who, unfortunately, name we've forgotten) asked us if we wanted to learn more about Point Loma and the land surrounding the harbor. We thought he would sprinkle in a few facts about the land here and there, but that man talked for ALL FOUR HOURS of our trip. Don't get me wrong, we learned A LOT about Point Loma, Colonization, Navy Dolphins, and how the Mai Tais at the Baleen Restaurant are like breasts, " one is not enough and three is too many!" (his words, not ours) but we did not envision our friend's bachelorette excursion to be THAT educational. (we wanted to have drinks, take pictures, and relax lol) We tried shifting the conversation a couple times so that we would enjoy ourselves a little more, and attempted to turn on a speaker to play some music, however he seemed to be annoyed that we weren't paying him attention. I would also like to add that he seemed to have a preference for conversation with the only other white person on the boat, and seemed very dismissive to any follow up questions that the other women (majority women of color) had, which was kind of weird. Aside from that, it was a pretty cool trip and I would still recommend renting from this establishment. He did let us sail the boat a couple times (everyone got a chance which was pretty awesome) but it would have been nice if he let us hang out a little more.

I will never use this business again. Terrible company. No maintenance of boats. Major failures underway. Not responsive. Deflect and avoid dealing with you when you have problems caused by them. Straight up lie to you saying boat is in full working order then you find out the truth. Reporting to BBB and authorities. Demanding my money back from my credit card company because HIYC manager won't help or return communication. I am warning you not to have to do the same. This was the 3rd time I have been on a boat with major failures from them, 2 of them I was the charterer, 1 other a friend chartered. Never again. Here is my most recent experience in chartering the Lagoon 380 catamaran 'In The Shelter' from HIYC's Long Beach location: The receptionist via phone assured me several times leading up to the trip including the day before that the boat had no issues and everything was in working order. When I arrive, the entire AC electrical system is in disorder and will not be able to be used. The staff on the dock made it seem like even having to talk to me about walking through the boat to check things over before setting off was an annoying inconvenience for him right off the bat. When I discovered the nav lights on the front of the boat weren't working he didn't want to fix it and I had to pressure him to. Little did I know the anchor light was also not working, as it is at the top of the mast and this was in the daylight. Starboard engine unreliable start, takes long time to start. Seems like faulty wiring. Not full fuel tank (3/4 full). Some Lights on switch panel not working. The following issues occurred on our trip. 1) Discovered 4 sharp wood screws sticking 1 inch down from ceiling in starboard hallway at head level. 1 crew member has gash on forehead from it. Complete Negligence and disregard for customer's safety. The screws are from the missing door that used to be there. At least have the sense to remove the sharp screws! Could seriously have penetrated someone's skull from rocking underway or anchored! 2) Waste tank leaks out of boat on port side even though valves fully closed. Checked constantly nothing I could do. Expensive fine risk. Especially at Avalon. 3) Main halyard block broke and detached from head of main sail while we were sailing in moderate winds. Had to use spinnaker halyard to hoist crew member up to top of mast with boat hook in hand to retrieve block. I brought my own harness for that. We had to cut the spinnaker halyard as the snap shackle was corroded shut making it unable to be disconnected from dolphin striker(?) pole even after using WD-40 and degreaser and pliers with spin halyard loosened. Had to replace main halyard block with shackle I had brought. 4) Jib started unzipping from fore-stay while underway. They had a small line holding it down on the tack to the roller furler which had cut right through it with its sharp edge. I replaced that line with a shackle I brought. 5) No anchor light. Dangerous for risk if other boat colliding w us at night when sleeping. 6) Broken motor bracket on dinghy on first and only use of dinghy just around Descanso in Avalon. Dinghy motor and fuel tank are now stored in port motor hatch. 7) Electrical junction box missing cover. Under salon couch in storage area. Fire/shock risk. 8) Only ~1/3 full dinghy propane tank 9) Bimini all loose moves around so much not good to grab it when moving about cockpit for safety 10) Patio table top disconnected from port side pole 11) Starboard Cabin door to salon missing half of door 12) 1 empty propane tank for kitchen 13) 3 empty small grill propane tanks for grill, so not possible to use grill 14) Oven such low heat that it takes 3X cooking time. They didn't get back to me until the boat was due back. As a result of these issues my 4 days had little sailing and a ton of fixing that is their job. I have entered a dispute with my bank and expect a refund. Also reporting to BBB and relevant authority. Potential customers need to know how little this company cares about them.

They rented me a boat for catalina island (3 days) from long beach, Lagoon 380, that did not have working alternators and had a big leak. Even though I paid for the additional insurance for "zero liability", they did not help me. I had to get a jump start at $120 and now they will not answer nor return my calls or emails. They are actively avoiding me. There was another boat there that had to get towed back to HIYC as well and they complained about the same treatment. Its not only about the $120, its about not being able to enjoy our trip because they withheld information that was critical. And guess what, they rented this same boat to another person as soon as we were back. This business is run by people who will lie to you and then avoid dealing with the consequences. TERRIBLE

Horrible service, rude employee, they don't care about the boats, noting works. Very bad experience!

I have been a member for years and have always had a very positive sailing experience. Most economical way to sail without the headaches of ownership. Young man working on the dock was very helpful and 22' was in great shape. Had a great sail last Friday. Jim Condon 8/5/20

San Diego Bay.

what an amazing experience! the club is great - the equipment and facilities are awesome. the dock hands were really helpful. special mention to Chris - he really knows these boats. the price is the best in probably the US. and of course- Captain Frank Dixon - is a very thorough instructor- and i could not have asked for a better teacher. all i can say about any negative reviews is this - people should use a checklist and checkout boats thoroughly before acceptance and departure and there would be no complaints because issues are immediately addressed when found. i look forward to many more adventures with the club here as well as in long beach! thank you Harbor Island Yacht Club!

Chartered Lagoon 380 out of Long Beach. We were not allowed to inspect vessel prior to boarding even though we had visited the marina months in advance. Boat ridden hard and put away wet. After having chartered Cats through Moorings and San Diego Multihull, this boat was far below expectations in condition and cleanliness. Had to wash all dishes prior to use. Shower sump pump not working, one bilge pump would not shut off necessitating its disconnection from wiring harness. Dinghy motor missing a blade on the prop and was partially deflated with no pump on hand to revive it. After having owned boats for many years, I was embarassed to sit on this dinged, marred and scuffed vessel at the mooring.

History of Chelyabinsk

Foundation of chelyabinsk.

In 1736, the fortress named Chelyaba (most likely, a Bashkir word) was founded on the Miass River. One of the reasons for the construction of this and several other fortresses located nearby was the threat of attacks of the Bashkirs on caravans with supplies. The fortress became part of the Ufa Province.

In 1748, the first stone church was laid in the fortress. In 1781, it received the status of a town called Chelyabinsk. In 1782, the coat of arms of Chelyabinsk was approved by decree of Empress Catherine II. A loaded camel depicted on it meant that trade routes passed through this town located in the Asian part of the Russian Empire. In 1795, the population of Chelyabinsk was about 2,700 people.

By the middle of the 19th century, this town played an important role in trading in the Urals. Until the end of the 19th century, Chelyabinsk remained a small town. In 1882, its population was about 7,700 people. The second birth of Chelyabinsk took place in 1892 - after the completion of the construction of the Samara-Zlatoust Railway, which connected Chelyabinsk with the European part of the Russian Empire.

After 1892, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway continued further to the east of the country. In 1896, the further development of Chelyabinsk was facilitated by the commissioning of the branch of the Ural Mining Railway, which connected Chelyabinsk with Yekaterinburg. In just a few years, the town became one of the leaders in bread, butter, meat, and tea trade in the Russian Empire. Chelyabinsk was unofficially called “The Gateway to Siberia”.

More historical facts…

Chelyabinsk in the first half of the 20th century

In just a decade, the population of the town grew significantly (in 1897 - about 20 thousand people, in 1910 - more than 60 thousand), and the territory increased by one third. For rapid growth at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, similar to American cities, Chelyabinsk was sometimes called “Chicago beyond the Urals”.

The armed rebellion of the Czechoslovak Corps after the events at the Chelyabinsk Railway Station on May 14, 1918 and the capture of the city on the night of May 26 to 27, 1918, led to its participation in the Civil War in Russia on the side of the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly and later on the side of A. V. Kolchak (one of the leaders of the White Armies opposing the Reds (Bolsheviks)). In July 1919, the Reds occupied Chelyabinsk and Bolshevik authorities began to form in the city. In 1923, the population of Chelyabinsk was about 54,300 people.

On September 3, 1919, Chelyabinsk became the center of the Chelyabinsk province. On November 3, 1924, it was transformed into the Chelyabinsk district of Ural Oblast. On January 17, 1934, Ural Oblast was divided into three separate regions - Sverdlovsk Oblast with a center in Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast with a center in Chelyabinsk, and Ob-Irtysh Oblast with a center in Tyumen.

In 1937, there were discussions about renaming the city of Chelyabinsk in Kaganovichgrad in honor of Lazar Kaganovich, a Soviet politician and administrator. During the first Soviet five-year plans, Chelyabinsk became one of the largest industrial centers of the USSR. From the beginning of the 1930s, tractor, abrasive, ferroalloy, electrode, machine tool, and zinc plants began to operate. In 1939, the population of Chelyabinsk was about 273,000 people.

Chelyabinsk during the Second World War

During the Second World War, Chelyabinsk played a very important role as a production base. The population of the city grew rapidly from 270 to 650 thousand people. On the basis of more than 200 enterprises evacuated from the western regions of the USSR that merged with local industries, several giant plants were opened: the Chelyabinsk Forge and Press Plant, the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, and the Chelyabinsk Pipe Rolling Plant.

After combining the capacities of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant with two evacuated enterprises - the Leningrad Kirov Plant and Kharkov Engine-Building Plant, mass production of tanks (KV-1, IS-2, T-34) and self-propelled guns (SU-152 and ISU-152) began. In total, during the war, about 60 thousand tank diesels and 18 thousand fighting vehicles (20% of all Soviet fighting vehicles) were produced in Chelyabinsk. By the end of the war, every third Soviet tank and combat aircraft had Chelyabinsk steel. The city acquired a new unofficial name - Tankograd (The City of Tanks).

During the war years, about 220,000 people were sent from the front to Chelyabinsk for treatment, 78% of them returned to service after healing their wounds. In 1941-1944, the Kiev Medical Institute, evacuated from the capital of Ukraine, was training medical doctors in Chelyabinsk. In 1944, the Chelyabinsk Medical Institute was established on its basis.

Chelyabinsk in the second half of the 20th century and beyond

In the post-war period, Chelyabinsk became a supplier of equipment, machinery, and specialists for the reconstruction of Stalingrad, Donbass, DneproGES, and other industrial centers. In 1947, a new development plan was approved, which provided for multi-storey buildings in the city center and areas adjacent to industrial enterprises. This radically changed the panorama of Chelyabinsk.

By 1960, there were already about 15 thousand students in Chelyabinsk. In 1976, Chelyabinsk State University was founded - the first classical university in the South Urals. By the 1980s, the capital of the South Urals became a major scientific center of the USSR with 7 universities and about 40 research and design institutes.

On October 13, 1976, a millionth resident was born in Chelyabinsk. By 1980, its enterprises produced more than 50% of Soviet stainless steel, 20% of pipes, 30% of ferroalloys. At this time, the new building of the Chelyabinsk Drama Theater with 1,200 seats was opened, the Chelyabinsk Puppet Theater gained all-Russian fame. In 1986, Chelyabinsk celebrated its 250th anniversary. In honor of this, a geological museum, a chamber and organ music hall were opened.

The first half of the 1990s, after the collapse of the USSR and the transition to a market economy, was a difficult time for Chelyabinsk and its huge plants. From the second half of the 1990s, industry gradually resumed production, and a lot of plants entered the world market.

In 2004, the pedestrian street of Kirovka was opened. It has become a favorite place for walks of Chelyabinsk residents and guests of the city. In 2006, the new building of the State Historical Museum of the South Urals was opened. In 2009, the ice arena “Tractor” with a capacity of 7,500 spectators was built. In the 2010s, after the recession of the 1990s, construction and commissioning of new housing intensified.

On February 15, 2013, a large meteor with a diameter of about 17 meters and a mass of about 10 thousand tons entered the atmosphere in the vicinity of Chelyabinsk (the Chelyabinsk Meteor). Fortunately, it exploded in the sky relatively high above the city. However, 7,320 buildings were damaged and 1,613 people were wounded as a result. Its debris fell into Lake Chebarkul, from where the largest fragment was later raised and delivered to the Chelyabinsk Museum of Local Lore.

Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant is the largest producer of stainless steel in Russia.

Through Chelyabinsk, traffic flows from the European part of Russia to Siberia. In particular, this city is the final point of the federal highways M5 Ural (Moscow - Chelyabinsk), R254 Irtysh (Baikal) (Chelyabinsk - Novosibirsk), A310 (Chelyabinsk - Kazakhstan). Public transport is represented by buses, trolleybuses, trams, and minibuses. The international airport “Chelyabinsk” offers flights to several large Russian cities, mainly to Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Chelyabinsk has historically developed as a center of several cultures: first of all, the cultures of the indigenous inhabitants of the region - the Bashkirs, Tatars, and Russians. There are Orthodox churches and mosques, a Catholic church, several Protestant churches, and a synagogue in the city.

The questions of our visitors

The comments of our visitors.

I heard an interview with a woman from Chelyabinsk several days after the meteor exploded over your city on February 15th, 2013. She said "We should use this meteor to bring people to our city. We need our own Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty".

I think the meteor could help your city draw tourists, if the city is willing to invest money to make this happen. Specifically, you could build a museum that would:

Besides the museum, have boat rides on the lake where pieces of the meteor broke through the ice.

To support the museum (and tourists) year-round, would it work to put together ski packages, transporting skiers to the Urals by bus via the M5 highway (or others) during the day and bringing them back to Chelyabinsk at night? Can you improve air connections US-Europe-Moscow-Chelyabinsk? Add a few restaurants? Etc.

A meteor like yours hits the Earth once a century. If you want it, you could make Chelyabinsk a tourist destination. It's worth a try. David Irvin
