Balboa Yacht Club is a yacht club in Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, Orange County, California, near the entrance to Newport Harbor. It was founded in 1922 as the Southland Sailing Club and soon took its present name. The club keeps an outstation at Whites Cove on Santa Catalina Island, west of Avalon, provides moorings, wet and dry slips and a dinghy launch, and runs a large junior sailing program with its own junior clubhouse. Its fleets include Naples Sabots, FJs and Harbor 20s, and it is home to the Thursday night Beer Can Races. Skippers from the club have won world titles, among them Bob White in the 1945 Snipe worlds, Bob Davis in 1946 and David Ullman in the 470 worlds in 1977, 1978 and 1980.
