A message from your 2022 commodore.

Welcome! I’m Piper Blackband and it’s my honor to be the 2022 BIYC Commodore for this special year celebrating our 100th Anniversary. Like many of you, I started BIYC when I was 4 years old. The memories created in that time are priceless, as are the memories BIYC has given all of us over the past 100 years. We have put together this website in celebration of those 100 years, and to share the history of BIYC, serve as an RSVP for our 100th Anniversary Celebration on June 11, 2022, and provide a link to the 100th Anniversary merchandise.

This website is a work in progress, as we collect more information and photos, we will continue to make updates. I would like to thank Junior Staff Commodore, Cooper Blackband, Mrs. Svendsen and Mrs. Bock for their help in gathering many of these great memories. Help spread the word, by sharing this website with your friends, family and past BIYC alumni.

Judi Gorski Is Balboa YC’s First Woman Commodore

NEWPORT BEACH — Balboa Yacht Club has experienced many changes since it began as “Southland Sailing Club” on Balboa Peninsula in 1922.

A new name and location are just two examples of the club’s evolution over the past 90 years. This year, Balboa YC named Judi Gorski as its first woman commodore.

Gorski, who has been with the club since 1979, held the position of vice commodore last year and rear commodore the year before. She was selected for the organization’s top spot by the club’s nomination committee in 2010.

This year, she is finishing her three-year rotation as commodore, heading up the board of directors and preparing for Balboa Yacht Club’s 90th anniversary celebration.

“The club is really my second home,” Gorski said. “I’ve met most of my closest friends through Balboa Yacht Club or from sailing and racing in Southern California.”

Gorski grew up in a family of powerboaters in Perrysburg, Ohio, fishing and cruising on Lake Erie.

After finishing her undergraduate studies at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Gorski moved to Southern California to start a West Coast branch of a medical device testing laboratory. She took evening classes at West Coast University, earning a master’s degree in business administration.

“When I first moved out to California, my roommate from John Carroll introduced me to Balboa Yacht Club — her family had been members — and they encouraged me to join,” Gorski said.

Gorski quickly became involved in the club’s racing circle. She sailed Thistles before purchasing a Schock 35, which she owned for 10 years — taking a class championship in 1996 and serving as class president for two years.

In 2003, Gorski retired as vice president of international operations at NAMSA, a medical device safety evaluation company, but she has stayed on as an adviser and is currently investigating the China market.

Throughout her life, Gorski has considered herself a bit of a pioneer: After moving to California to start a business, she started a testing laboratory in Taiwan; and she lived in France for three years, overseeing the conversion of an existing laboratory to new evaluation standards.

“I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of being a pioneer, and that’s appealing to me in this role of being the first woman commodore,” Gorski said.

Gorski said she will focus on finding new ways to keep junior members connected to the club and turn their membership into a long-term commitment.

“We teach junior sailing, but I think there’s more we can do there — depending on what their interests are, or what their family’s interests are,” Gorski said. “We need to make it fun for them around the club, so it keeps them connected.”

Over the past decade, Balboa YC has enjoyed a lot of growth, with around 850 total members and 550 flag members. However, in the past few years, there has been a leveling-off of new sign-ups.

“We are feeling the effects of the problems of the economy, as others are, and we are working to fill vacancies in our marina,” she said.

After two board meetings with Gorski at the helm, Balboa YC board of directors member Dave Beek is enjoying the change.             “She’s just great to work with,” Beek said. “I’ve been on the board for four or five years now, so it’s kind of cool to deal with a woman at the head of the table.”

As far as challenges to being the first woman commodore, Gorski said she doesn’t notice anything different from what she’s been dealing with her entire life.

“I was often the only woman in my business, one of the only women in my MBA program and, sometimes, the only woman on the water during sailboat races,” Gorski said. “If I’m treated differently, I don’t notice it, because I’m immune to it.”

Balboa and Bahia Corinthian yacht clubs celebrated the start of the boating season Saturday with cannon blasts, bagpipes, boat inspections and pageantry all around.

“It’s a bit like a birthday party,” said Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club Commodore Tom Madden. “You have that excitement and anticipation one time a year for the start of boating season.”

The two clubs, both situated on Bayside Drive, enjoyed summerlike weather and capacity crowds for their opening day celebrations.

Balboa Yacht Club posted a new record for boats on display at their docks, with 85 sail and powerboats at the club.

“We got so many comments on how beautiful the boats looked this year with all of the flags flying,” said Balboa Yacht Club Commodore Ray Lewis.

Each club has its own special customs, but both clubs “close” the night before opening day, and open to signal the “clearing of the ice” – a tradition held by yacht clubs on the East Coast.

“We saw some ice last night, so we closed,” joked Bahia Corinthian Port Captain Mark Silvey. “It was cleared by the morning.”

The Balboa Island Yacht Club, the club run by kids for kids, celebrated its 100th anniversary on Saturday in Newport Beach.

About 300 alumni of the club showed up, said Piper Blackband, the club’s 2022 commodore, including 40 commodores.

Guests view a wall of photos filled with a century of BIYC officers during BIYC's 100th Anniversary celebration Saturday.

During the ceremony, the officers for this summer introduced the staff commodores and staff secretaries. One of the speakers was Allan Beek, 95, the senior staff commodore from 1942, who spoke about the legacy of the club.

It is the second oldest yacht club in Newport Beach; only the Newport Harbor Yacht Club, established in 1916, is older.

Blackband, who will be a junior at Corona del Mar High, said competitions are run daily throughout the program. Mondays are for paddleboarding and sailing, Tuesdays are for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding, Wednesdays are for rowing, and Thursdays and Fridays are for sailing lessons.

A snowbird sailboat used in the 1932 Olympics was on display during BIYC's 100th Anniversary celebration on Saturday.

The 100th anniversary celebration kicked off the summer season. On Saturday, the sailing and rowboat racks will be put on the beach, she said.

“We don’t really see each other during the [school] year, but then we come back during the summer and it’s like how it was before,” Blackband said. “We’re a close-knit family because we’ve known each other since we were so young.”

Members and guests gather to celebrate Balboa Island Yacht Club's 100th Anniversary on Saturday.

For over 90 years, the Balboa Yacht Club has served to encourage yacht racing and cruising, promoted the science of seamanship and navigation, and provided a beautiful clubhouse and marina for the educational, recreational, and social use of its members, families, and guests.

California Governor (later US President) Ronald Reagan granted the Deed of Gift for the Governor’s Cup to Balboa Yacht Club in 1967 “for the purpose of encouraging Youth Racing in the State of California and the recognition of the skill and high performance of those men and women under twenty years of age…” As an invitation only match racing regatta, the Governor’s Cup was established by the late Chet and Glee Purcell. Mr. and Mrs. Purcell had a vision that a national match racing competition should be created for younger sailors, similar in format to the internationally recognized Congressional Cup Regatta.  As the years progressed, the Governor’s Cup grew in popularity with its first international team participating in 1989. Since then teams from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Finland and Spain have participated and become regular entrants and often multiple winners. The Cup has served as a gateway for future champions in collegiate competition, the Olympics, Congressional Cup, Swedish Match Tour and numerous America’s Cups. 

The Governor’s Cup has a special relationship with the America’s Cup with the latter having visited Balboa Yacht Club during “Gov Cup Week” twice in recent years. Norbert Bajurin, Commodore of the current holder of the America’s Cup, said it best, “The Governor’s Cup is the America’s Cup for youth.” Truer words were never spoken. BYC can be very proud of this illustrious history and its alumni from fourteen countries and territories around the world. When you watch this and every year’s Governor’s Cup, you are seeing some of the future stars of the sport. 

Pathway for Champions

If the sailing careers of decades of Governor's Cup alumni are any guide, the GovCup is truly a "Pathway for Champions." Below are profiles of some of the great sailors and world champions that have sailed in the Governor's Cup and gone on to the America's Cup, the Olympic Games, the World Match Race Tour, and, in what has to be the event most different from the GovCup, the Round the World Race!

Argyle Campbell

Argyle Campbell of Newport Beach, California, won the first two Governor's Cups in 1967 and 1968, sailing for the Balboa Yacht Club. He was also a two-time All American sailor at the University of Southern California while beginning his match racing career, but hit the big time in match racing soon after his Gov Cup wins.

In 1970 and 1972, Argyle won Long Beach Yacht Club's Congressional Cup, with a crew that included Andy Rose (winner of the '69 and '70 Gov Cup).

Argyle continues one-design sailing to this day, including a world corinthian championship in the Melges 24 class and multiple championships in the Etchells class.

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.

PETER DUNCAN AND RELATIVE OBSCURITY WIN THE 2021 J/70 WORLDS

Peter Duncan and Relative Obscurity Return to the Podium as J/70 World Champion at California Yacht Club

Peter Duncan’s Relative Obscurity has prevailed over 60 other teams and challenging wind conditions to capture the 2021 J/70 World Championship title at California Yacht Club, today. In a five-day series that tested the skill and patience of top-notch competitors from 11 nations, Duncan – sailing with Willem van Waay, Morgan Trubovich and Victor Diaz de Leon – secured a top five position in the beginning of the regatta and never let go.

“I’m elated!” said Duncan as he returned to the dock, bustling with activity. “That was a tough day out there. We didn’t start very well but had a bit of a break with a header on the first run of the second race that let us get close to everybody and sail through some folks we need to sail through,” he explained. “We have a lot of fun onboard – joke and laugh and keep it light – and that worked in our favor when we had to grind through. Everybody knows what their job is, and these guys do them exceptionally well.”

The crew shall consist of 3 or more persons. The number of crew shall not be changed during an event.

The J/70 Class has been created as a strict one-design Class where the true test when racing is between crews and not boats and equipment.

Well, chances are it will not be like Day 1 of the Pre-Worlds. Maybe more like Day 2. But then again, this is MdR—anything can happen.

CALIFORNIA YACHT CLUB

Founded originally in 1922 by yachtsmen including Charles Hathaway and Frank Garbutt, the California Yacht Club's first clubhouse was built in Wilmington, CA in Los Angeles' inner harbor (berths nos. 192 & 193), just opposite Terminal Island. Close by were the yards of renowned yacht builders Wilmington Boat Works and Fellows & Stewart (second location). In the club's inaugural year, member yachtsmen formed the first Star class fleet on the Pacific coast. Involved in all aspect of the sport, the club has encouraged a variety of pleasure boating, first in Los Angeles Harbor, and now in Santa Monica Bay.

Over the years CYC has been the club for numerous prominent yachtsmen including Merritt Adamson, Pierpont Davis, Roy E. Disney, J. Paul Getty, Samuel K. Rindge, William Stewart, James Kilroy and navigator extraodinaire, Ben Mitchell. Movie mogul Cecil B. DeMille once served as a trustee of the club and donated a gold cup for powerboat racing. Comedy film producers Al Christie and Hal Roach were both deeply involved in club activities in the twenties and thirties.

Power boating has always been a part of the club's mission along with sailing and rowing. The first CYC powerboat regatta was run in 1922 and the winner was none less than the famous Gar Wood in his Harmsworth Trophy winner Miss America. CYC's Catalina Challenge race for powerboats has been run annually since 1922.

A fire on Thanksgiving Day, 1930 severely damaged the original clubhouse although the heroic efforts of some members saved all of the trophies.

In 1932, several CYC members figured prominently in the sailing events at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Owen Churchill, inventor of the SwimFin, won the gold medal in the Eight-Metre Class with Angelita.

Unfortunately, the club was forced to relinquish its key location in the East Basin to the Coast Guard for the war effort in 1941. A dormant period followed.

With the development of the long-awaited Marina Del Rey in the early 1960s, the club reformed in '63 and elected Fritz Overton, Commodore in 1923, as head of the "new" club. In 1966, they opened the modern clubhouse and marina facility that is their home today. The radial design of the building allows sweeping panoramic views of the marina.

The California Yacht Club is owned by the Hathaway family, owners of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. The annual "Great Catalina to Marina del Rey Rowing and Paddling Event" pays tribute to Charles Hathaway's row in 1976 from Catalina Island to the club on his 50th birthday.

The unique combination of private ownership and annually elected flag officers has worked well to establish California Yacht Club as one of the outstanding clubs in the nation.

‘Nothing left’: After California Yacht Club fire, residents mourn loss of a beloved spot

Two firefighters injured fighting a massive overnight fire that destroyed

  • Show more sharing options
  • Copy Link URL Copied!

In an instant, an overnight seaside blaze engulfed decades’ worth of boating trophies, historical artifacts and cherished memorabilia at the California Yacht Club in Marina del Rey on Monday.

Fire crews attempted to control the blaze as heavy smoke and flames consumed the two-story building. By the time they had subdued the fire two hours later, only the skeletal remnants of the clubhouse were left standing.

John Myers, senior vice president of the club, said the blaze had been reported by an employee working late in the clubhouse Monday night. The fire spared the remainder of the facilities on the ground, including the docks and the yachts moored there. But the clubhouse, and particularly its second floor, was all but wiped out.

“We are working closely with the Los Angeles County Fire Department in their investigation of the cause of the incident and will share those findings when they become available to us,” Myers said.

The three towers that make up the Marina City Club

Members are left mourning, comparing the loss to the death of a loved one.

Jennifer Dakoske Koslu awoke in Rancho Mirage at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, before the sun had risen, to find her phone inundated with text messages from club members.

The first message she read simply stated, “The CYC is gone.”

“As soon as I opened my phone, it went to a link on the Citizen app and saw a video of the club burning. I was shocked,” Dakoske Koslu said.

For the last 24 years, Dakoske Koslu and her family have been dedicated members of the CYC, whose clubhouse is a few miles away from their home in Playa del Rey. She said it is where her children have grown up, familiarizing themselves with every inch.

“I remember taking my son there on the Fourth of July when he was just 3 weeks old. It was the first place we went with him as a newborn,” Dakoske Koslu said.

She and her husband biked to the club in the aftermath of the fire, greeted by the charred remains of the building on Wednesday afternoon.

“The destruction is unbelievable. It’s clear that the fire was burning intensely on the second floor,” Dakoske Koslu said. “There’s nothing left.”

The second floor once housed a collection of the club’s prestigious racing trophies, kept on display for members and visitors. The fire melted all but a single salvageable California Cup. Most notably, the priceless King of Spain Trophy, acquired in 1929 from King Alfonso XIII, was lost.

Additionally, the club lost cherished photographs of every past commodore, a significant position within a yacht club. Members said they didn’t know if anyone had digitized the images of the commodores or of the club’s founders.

“We would tell yachting stories at the bar around lots of memorabilia, and the yachting artifacts behind the bar are all gone now,” Tom Materna said. “The yacht club provided us a facility for the off-the-water celebrations after hard-fought competition on the water.”

Boats on the water with palm trees in the background

The CYC dates to the early 1920s, started by boat owners from the Los Angeles Athletic Club and other yacht clubs. The Board of Harbor Commissioners approved the first clubhouse in 1922, designed by famed architect Edwin Bergstrom, co-designer of the Pentagon.

In 1965, the yacht club submitted a proposal for an all-encompassing $1-million, two-story, 10,000-square-foot clubhouse on four acres off Admiralty Way. Members envisioned a state-of-the-art facility with 170 boat slips, a guest dock, a small boat hoist and a dry land storage facility for boats. The clubhouse that resulted was dedicated on June 10, 1967.

Then-Commodore William A. DeGroot Jr. told The Times that the triangular parcel of land on which the clubhouse still sits is a “perfectly logical place for a club facility, and a commanding view down the main channel of the marina.”

Though the building has historical significance to its members, it does not have a historic designation, according to Linda Dishman, president of the Los Angeles Conservancy.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and so grateful for the outpouring of support from the community and our members,” Myers said. “CYC has been a beacon for the nautical community for the past 101 years.”

Materna, 68, first found out about the fire through Facebook as friends posted videos and photos of the damage Tuesday morning. Then he began receiving calls and text messages from friends.

“Everybody woke up in the morning and realized we’d lost a significant part of the sailing community,” Materna said.

His connection to the club dates back nearly 52 years, to when he was just 16 years old. After spending 30 years sailing professionally with Hobie Cats, mainly racing catamarans — a watercraft with two parallel hulls of equal size — he recently served as a crew member on other club members’ racing yachts.

The CYC is pivotal in the boat racing community, organizing and hosting events such as the Optimist National Championship and Junior Olympic trials, Materna said. He fondly remembers the hundreds of people from across the globe converging on the marina for similar events.

The main topic among members now is what’s next for the club. Dakoske Koslu noted that the club’s ownership changed over the last few years, and many are unsure and concerned about the club’s continuation after the fire.

The club relocated to the marina in 1967, leasing the land it sits on from the county.

“I don’t think the county has really valued the contributions of the California Yacht Club as an important part of the Marina. They value Trader Joe’s because it’s more money for them,” Dakoske Koslu said.

Dakoske Koslu said she’s seen numerous small marine-oriented businesses displaced from the marina, making way for more commercialized developments such as Trader Joe’s and Recreational Equipment Inc.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

  • The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■
