The club’s unique management structure was set at the beginning, which designated separate Executive and Flag Officer functions. The club became famous for its moonlit parties, regattas, and cruising events. The club encouraged family participation from the very beginning. The first clubhouse was designed and built […]

1935 was a banner year for beginnings: the first canned beer was sold; Bob Hope was first heard on network radio as part of “The Intimate Revue”; the China Clipper (flying boat) took off from Alameda, carrying 100,000 pieces of mail for the first ever trans-Pacific airmail flight; Parker Brothers launched the board game Monopoly; and Ozzie Nelson married Harriet Hilliard. Another couple, though perhaps not quite as famous, purchased the first six and a half acres of property of […]

On a rainy afternoon in the Fall of 1989 several shore-bound sailors were trading sea stories in Rush Hilborn’s dockside garage and the possibility of forming a yacht club surfaced.
