                   HONORING THE CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 26, 2016

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Corinthian 
Yacht Club of San Francisco in honor of its 130th anniversary. Located 
in Tiburon, California, the CYC is the second-oldest yacht club in the 
western United States, and continues to serve as a premier cultural and 
sporting center in the Bay Area.
   Founded in 1886, the CYC sponsors local and international races, 
hosts more than 35 social events annually, and serves hundreds of 
members and guests at its dining sites. In particular, the club is 
known for its Opening Day on the Bay and Blessing of the Fleet events, 
as well as its spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay.
   The CYC also participates in and supports several philanthropic 
causes in Northern California and beyond. They host scholarship 
fundraising events through their Wooden Boat Show and hold an annual 
regatta to raise money for lung cancer research. Additionally, they 
convene sailing seminars for women and an educational speaker series 
that covers a range of educational and environmental topics.
   With a record of business success, commitment to yachting and 
boating, and involvement in the community, the historic Corinthian 
Yacht Club remains a cultural cornerstone that extends beyond the Town 
of Tiburon. Mr. Speaker, it is fitting that we honor the Corinthian 
Yacht Club of San Francisco on their 130th Anniversary for their 
ongoing contributions to Marin County and the Bay Area.
