CYCT Re-Vitalizes Junior Sailing In Tacoma
The Corinthian Yacht Club of
Tacoma (CYCT) originally started a Junior Sailing Program in 1989 with sailing at Tyee Marina on the North side of Commencement Bay. The program quickly grew and learn to sail weeks were held throughout the summer months. Unfortunately, by the mid 90’s, what once was a very successful program began to decline and came to an end. In 2007, three members of CYCT,
Fred Creitz, Dan Gaines, and Skip Anderson, decided to once again offer junior sailing on Commencement Bay. On Friday evenings during the summer months, they would transport six Lasers by trailer to the only patch of sand on Rustin Way. Sailing on the Bay and informal racing was available to any junior that showed interest. Often, they would not get the boats back to their home at the Tacoma Sea Explorer base until midnight. In 2008, the CYCT Board officially
re-established a junior program with a full standing committee. A 60 by 15 foot concrete float was donated by Tacoma Floats, and Delin Docks Marina allowed CYCT to operate from their Facility
