California Yacht Club (CYC) was started in 1922 in Los Angeles harbor by a group of dedicated yachtsman, most from Los Angeles Athletic Club. On 1 October 1966, the CYC moved to its new clubhouse located at the head of Marina del Rey's
main channel. Current membership is 1,250. Several CYC and Los Angeles Athletic Club members were most influential in bringing the 1932 Olympics to Los Angeles. At the Games themselves, Paul Hiller was General Chairman for Olympic yacht
racing events, CYC Commodore A. N. Kemp organized the financing, and Owen Churchill won America's first Olympic gold medal in his eight meter "Angelita". In 1984, Olympic Chief Peter Ueberroth purchased the now nearly half-century old
"Angelita" with his own funds, restored this historic vessel and dedicated it to Owen at CYC's Marina del Rey clubhouse as the official yacht of the '84 Olympics. In 1984, Rod Davis was an Olympic Gold Medal winner in the Soling
Class. 1988 saw Hal Haenel awarded an Olympic Silver Medal in the Star Boat Competition, and in the 1992 Barcelona Games bring home the Gold Medal. J.J. Isler garnered a Bronze Medal at Barcelona in the Women's 470 and repeated with
a Silver Medal in Australia's 2000 Olympics. Peter Isler, Bill Peterson, Rod Davis and Kimo Worthington were mainstays of the 1987 Americas Cup Challenge with the first two being members of the victorious "Sail America" Syndicate.
The burgee of CYC is blue with a white chevron.

Lanee Butler ranked 5th in Barcelona Olympics (1992), raced in Atlanta (1996)
and will race in Sydney (2000). Burgee was designed in August 1965. Accuracy of
my image is high since the burgee is represented neither flying in the wind nor
animated on the club website.

Located in San Diego, started in 1900 organized on 22 April 1927, included
in 1953 the North Shores Yacht Club. The charge on the burgee is not easy to
identify on the club website. It could be a sail or a bell buoy, but I finally
decided it was a bell (from the name of the club and the traditional use of
bells in yacht racing).
