A Message from the CYC Regatta Management Team:

CYC's leadership has been overwhelmed with the support we've received from our friends and fellow members at our regattas this year. We have an exciting slate of events ahead through the remainder of 2024 and we hope to see many more of you on the water soon! With your help -- whether for our Sunset Series or for a major championship event -- we're excited to continue leading the way in providing race management and sailing competition in this community. We hope you'll continue to join us for some fun too!

For more than 50 years, Star sailors have come to California Yacht Club to vie for the King of Spain trophy, the sterling silver Spanish galleon that was presented to CYC by the King of Spain in 1928. Past winners are a virtual who’s who in sailing, counting World Champions and Olympic medalists among the ranks. Santa Monica Bay offers some of its best sailing conditions in early summer, so competitors can expect sunny, warm days and mid-afternoon breezes in the 10 to 15 knot range. Post-race hospitality is sure to refuel the hardiest sailors after a competitive day on the water.

The Women on the Water/Woman at the Helm Regatta (WOW/WAH) is a community effort, with multiple clubs in the marina helping out to make the event a success. Cal's role in the event is to take care of race management. You'll see our race committee boat, the Charles Hathaway, as well as our mark-set boats and equipment, out on the course.

The regatta has two primary divisions: all women crew (WOW) and a coed crew with a female skipper (WAH). Go to the WOW/WAH official notice board for race documents, a link to registration, a list of competitors, and results.

A little history:
The Women on the Water (WOW) Series began in the early 1970s with the “Ladies Got Guts Race” to the Isthmus at Catalina Island. Organized by Stan Lieberman and sponsored by Del Rey Yacht Club, the event was initiated to interest women in learning more about boat handling. The enthusiasm of women for racing prompted other yacht clubs to sponsor their own “Women Only” events. These races became organized as a series in the late 1970s when then California Yacht Club Commodore Robert S. Wilson donated an antique silver loving cup to be awarded to the top woman sailor in Santa Monica Bay. In 2002 WSA donated a crystal sailboat perpetual trophy for the winner of the Woman at the Helm (WAH) division with the most entries. In 2005 a Martin 242 half model perpetual trophy was dedicated in memory of Cheryl Rembert, an active Santa Monica Bay area sailor. The Cheryl Rembert Memorial Award is given to the top placing Martin 242 in the WOW division.

King of the Hill

The “best of the best” from each of the classes in the Racing Division are invited to compete in this inverted-start race. This race will pit the best sailors in each class against each other, with the boat crossing the finish line first declared “King of the Hill” for that year.

Entry to this race is limited to those boats that receive an invitation. Invitations will be issued based on the final results of the 2024 Sunset Series, which ends the preceding Wednesday. Invitations will go to the top 1-4 boats in each class of the Racing Division based on average class size for the 2023 Sunset Series. Additional boats will then be invited based on end-of-the-season standings for the Marylyn Ritchie trophy (awarded to the boat with the best overall record in the Racing Division) to result in 21 invited boats.

The winner will be awarded the King of the Hill trophy which will remain on display at California Yacht Club. The King of the Hill trophy was a pre-existing CYC trophy that was re-dedicated to this new race in 2002. Joan Hill was the long-time Chair for the Sunset Series and a regular volunteer for CYC races. In 2003, Joanie died as a result of breast cancer and since then this race has served as a memorial to her dedication and hard work in running the Sunset Series for many years.

Sunset Series Cruising Championship

New in 2021, the Sunset Series Cruising Championship is an end-of-the-season race run the same evening as King of the Hill in which the “best of the best” from each of the classes in the Cruising Division are invited to compete in this inverted-start race. This race will pit the best sailors in each class against each other, with the boat crossing the finish line first declared the “Sunset Series Cruising Champion” for that year.

Entry to this race is limited to those boats that receive an invitation. Invitations will be issued based on the final results of the 2023 Sunset Series, which ends the preceding Wednesday. Invitations will go to the top 2-4 boats in each class of the Cruising Division based on average class size for the 2023 Sunset Series. Additional boats will then be invited based on end-of-the-season standings for the Millard Rosing trophy (awarded to the boat with the best overall record in the Cruising Division) to result in 8 invited boats.

The winner will be awarded the Sunset Series Cruising Championship Trophy which will remain on display at California Yacht Club.
