CALIFORNIA YACHT CLUB

Founded originally in 1922 by yachtsmen including Charles Hathaway and Frank Garbutt, the California Yacht Club's first clubhouse was built in Wilmington, CA in Los Angeles' inner harbor (berths nos. 192 & 193), just opposite Terminal Island. Close by were the yards of renowned yacht builders Wilmington Boat Works and Fellows & Stewart (second location). In the club's inaugural year, member yachtsmen formed the first Star class fleet on the Pacific coast. Involved in all aspect of the sport, the club has encouraged a variety of pleasure boating, first in Los Angeles Harbor, and now in Santa Monica Bay.

Over the years CYC has been the club for numerous prominent yachtsmen including Merritt Adamson, Pierpont Davis, Roy E. Disney, J. Paul Getty, Samuel K. Rindge, William Stewart, James Kilroy and navigator extraodinaire, Ben Mitchell. Movie mogul Cecil B. DeMille once served as a trustee of the club and donated a gold cup for powerboat racing. Comedy film producers Al Christie and Hal Roach were both deeply involved in club activities in the twenties and thirties.

Power boating has always been a part of the club's mission along with sailing and rowing. The first CYC powerboat regatta was run in 1922 and the winner was none less than the famous Gar Wood in his Harmsworth Trophy winner Miss America. CYC's Catalina Challenge race for powerboats has been run annually since 1922.

A fire on Thanksgiving Day, 1930 severely damaged the original clubhouse although the heroic efforts of some members saved all of the trophies.

In 1932, several CYC members figured prominently in the sailing events at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Owen Churchill, inventor of the SwimFin, won the gold medal in the Eight-Metre Class with Angelita.

Unfortunately, the club was forced to relinquish its key location in the East Basin to the Coast Guard for the war effort in 1941. A dormant period followed.

With the development of the long-awaited Marina Del Rey in the early 1960s, the club reformed in '63 and elected Fritz Overton, Commodore in 1923, as head of the "new" club. In 1966, they opened the modern clubhouse and marina facility that is their home today. The radial design of the building allows sweeping panoramic views of the marina.

The California Yacht Club is owned by the Hathaway family, owners of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. The annual "Great Catalina to Marina del Rey Rowing and Paddling Event" pays tribute to Charles Hathaway's row in 1976 from Catalina Island to the club on his 50th birthday.

The unique combination of private ownership and annually elected flag officers has worked well to establish California Yacht Club as one of the outstanding clubs in the nation.

Club History

Metropolitan Yacht Club of Oakland was a prestigious, popular and well-respected club founded in 1957, originally located in Jack London Square. Unfortunately, because of the Loma Prieta earthquake and the City of Oakland’s redevelopment plans, MYC lost its lease in 1999 when the building was sold, scattering its large membership among its rival clubs. 

Today  

The club continues to recruit new members and its membership is hopeful to someday, once again,  have a 'brick and mortar' clubhouse. Meetings and socials are held at various clubs, restaurants and locations in and about Alameda and San Francisco.

Become A Member

Our members come from various walks of life and enjoy sailing as well as cruising. Whether you have a sail boat, a cruiser, an off shore or a PWC our club is the place to be. We welcome all types of boaters to our events.   Membership is annual and very affordable.

Our tradition

 Metropolitan YC promotes yachting activities, social events, inter-club communications, and community service. Metropolitan YC holds it’s annual General Membership meetings and Change of Watch in October. Members enjoy cruising from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Sacramento River Delta. 

AFFILIATIONS

 We are active members of the Pacific Inter-Club Yachting Association (PICYA), Recreational Boaters of California (RBOC) and Cal Boating. Our members enjoy reciprocal boatinig privileges with mamy local and distant yacht clubs. 

Reciprocal Privileges

While membership in MYC and PICYA does not automatically confer reciprocal privileges among all clubs, we believe that all our member clubs have a spirit of sportsmanship and friendliness toward other boaters; we support every club's right and responsibility to establish its own policies with respect to visiting privileges. Remind members to call or write in advance of a visit to another club whenever possible. It's a small courtesy that can prevent embarrassment and disappointment.

The Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association (PICYA) was formed in San Francisco on May 12, 1896, to improve communication between yacht clubs, provide uniform racing rules, and encourage yachting. The US Yacht Racing Association and YRA of San Francisco were created in 1928 to take over most major sail races. From the 5 charter clubs, today there are 100 member clubs in Northern California with a combined membership of approximately 15,600 boating families.
