Rowing
Head of the Marina Regatta
California Yacht Club was established in 1922 and boated its' first competitive rowing team back in the 1930's. Today, adults and kids row year-round on the marina waters. Rowers of all skills levels, from beginner to Olympians, train out of CYC.

CYC’s Junior Rowing Program is a high-performance team focused on athlete and crew development. We emphasize teamwork, technical skill, and growth in a fun and respectful environment. Our goal is to develop skills for future success. Through sculling (two oars) growing athletes stay balanced in functional, symmetrical movement. Our range of programs, for ages 13-18, allow participants to train, progress, and compete at an appropriate skill level. Our top-level athletes regularly compete (and medal) nationally and continue their rowing careers in college.
