J/Fest Southwest Using Yacht Scoring

This year J/Fest Southwest is using Yacht Scoring to manage registration , online purchases, crew waivers and scoring. A few things you need to know. You will establish an email address (username) and password and all your data will be kept in the Yacht Scoring database so you only need to enter once for all future regattas in their system. The layout is quite different and there are many fields, but not too many more than before. The skipper is responsible for entering boat info, handicap rating, crew names, and emails. It is a little more work the first time you register, but it will pay off at the event as your registration will be complete and provide you with more time to socialize!

Lakewood Yacht Club

Located on the shores of Clear Lake near the Kemah Bridge, with direct access to Galveston Bay, Lakewood Yacht Club is one of the country’s finest racing destinations, and was recently named among the Top 10 yacht clubs in the United States.

Lakewood Yacht Club

Lakewood Yacht Club is located on 38 beautifully landscaped acres with over 300 covered and open boat slips. Lakewood is more than just a yacht club. It is a haven for members, their families and guests. There is a sense of peace and tranquility that makes Lakewood an incomparable place of refuge combined with social and water activities.

The Bermuda-style clubhouse provides Lakewood’s 500 plus members with quiet harbor-view dining facilities and excellent cuisine provided by a professionally trained executive chef. Lakewood has a newly remodeled bar and piano lounge with several large screen televisions and a beautiful ballroom for monthly holiday/event parties as well as popular Sunday brunches. A Game Room provides supervised activities for members’ children.

There is something for everyone at Lakewood beginning with a strong agenda of regattas and cruises organized annually by Lakewood’s enthusiastic volunteers. An active Ladies Association has a busy monthly agenda, which includes a special summer activity. The Youth Program, known as the Seahorses, is guided year-round by the club’s parent volunteers and Lakewood’s full-time Sailing Director. Three lighted tennis courts and friendly but competitive monthly tennis socials and weekly matches add to the allure of Lakewood. We invite you to make Lakewood Yacht Club your home away from home, your own personal yachting haven.

CLEVELAND YACHTING CLUB, INC.

The CLEVELAND YACHTING CLUB, INC. , originally organized in 1878 as the Cleveland Yachting Assn., was founded by GEO. W. GARDNER , a pioneer in yacht racing who also served as mayor of Cleveland. The original headquarters of the club were in the old Case Block at Superior and E. 3rd streets. T. H. Smead was elected the first commodore in 1878, followed by Gardner from 1879-94. On 3 Oct. 1888 the club was incorporated as the Cleveland Yacht Club and obtained lease of the lakefront at the rear of the U.S. MARINE HOSPITAL , just east of "Suicide" Pier at the foot of Erie (E. 9th) St., for a new clubhouse, dedicated 15 Sept. 1895. GEO. WORTHINGTON became commodore in 1895 and held that office until 1914. The CYC directed the Cleveland centennial regatta in 1896, the largest ever held on fresh water up to that time. In Apr. 1913 the Lakewood Yacht Club, which had selected Indian Island in the Rocky River lagoon as its clubhouse site (1901), merged with the Cleveland Yacht Club. On 29 Nov. 1914 the club moved its E. 9th St. clubhouse by barge to the Rocky River location, and the old Lakewood Yacht Club building was attached and used as a dining room. Although the CYC had become one of the nation's finest, with more than 1,100 members by 1918, within a few years it went into bankruptcy, possibly linked to the business failures of Commodore JOSIAH KIRBY . It lost its headquarters through foreclosure. A new Cleveland Yacht Club was subsequently formed and weathered the Depression without any employees, its commodore doubling as club manager. Under the leadership of Commodore Milton N. Gallup, it paid its debts and became solvent again. By 1949 it was able to buy Rocky River (formerly Indian) Island, where it eventually built a new clubhouse in 1963. A new bridge to the island was constructed in 1987. Enhancements since that time have focused on the Clubs computer system, docks and playground, as well as the rebulkheading of its north basin. In 2002, CYCs Commodore was Gordon D. Geiger, a member of the Club since 1987.
