The CYC is pivotal in the boat racing community, organizing and hosting events such as the Optimist National Championship and Junior Olympic trials, Materna said.

For the last 24 years, Dakoske Koslu and her family have been dedicated members of the CYC, whose clubhouse is a few miles away from their home in Playa del Rey.

The CYC dates to the early 1920s, started by boat owners from the Los Angeles Athletic Club and other yacht clubs.

“CYC has been a beacon for the nautical community for the past 101 years.”
