Yacht Club Guide of PICYA Member Clubs

'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.

Most clubs participate in a variety of inter-club activities designed to strengthen member yacht clubs. Many clubs have nearly perfect attendance at the monthly General Delegates Meetings, which are the primary source of information flow. There is a Flag Officers' Conference each spring to familiarize new club leaders with the heads of various boating related organizations. There is a corresponding Management Seminar each fall to improve club management skills. Safety conferences are also held to address topical issues of concern. Clubs compete annually for 26 prestigious perpetual trophies including keel boat, youth, predicted log, over-the-bottom, leadership, newsletter, and participation competitions.'
