History
The Multnomah Channel Yacht Club was formed in 1961 by a group of people interested in boating and family fun. A boathouse was purchased in 1963 and remodeled into a clubhouse. That clubhouse was moored at Red's Moorage near the Sauvie Island bridge, which later became Larson's moorage. In 1989 the clubhouse was moved to the current location in Scappoose. Docks and covered boat slips have been added since then. The current clubhouse was purchased in 1996, moved to the club's moorage and remodeled by club members.
