PCYC ON THE WATER
We have established a reputation for hospitality through reciprocity with yacht clubs worldwide. Our 180-foot guest dock accommodates visiting yachts throughout the year, and we have earned a solid standing in the yachting community through VCORC (Ventura County Ocean Racing Circuit) and the Annual McNish Classic Yacht Race for classic wooden sailing vessels. Both races were originated and Sponsored by PCYC. We are members of and participate in events of SCYA (Southern California Yachting Association), SCCA (Southern California Cruiser Association) and US Sailing (United States Yacht Racing Union). Our trophy cases attest to the success of our members' on-the-water activities.

PCYC IN THE CLUBHOUSE
The Year's calendar is planned around cruising, racing and fishing, and such activities as the official Opening Day of the yachting season, the Change of Watch, Commodore's Ball and seasonal parties. The clubhouse is open to members and their guests and to visiting yachtsmen Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner. Additionally, on Sunday there is a full breakfast served. Members are invited to host private parties and meetings in the clubhouse by arrangement with the Club Manager.

PCYC IN THE COMMUNITY
As individuals, and as PCYC, participation in community affairs is encouraged. We are known to be available and dependable when various city and county agencies have need of vessels for harbor cruises or for other forms of hospitality when out-of-town visitors are in the area. Our members and facilities are often called upon to lend support to the Department of the Navy, Oxnard Visitors and Convention Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, Ventura Power Squadron, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Harbor Management, and other agencies and organizations.

PCYC JUNIOR MEMBERS

Of all the activities offered by PCYC membership, none is more rewarding than participation in programs involving our junior members. Although the juniors are self-motivated, adults are necessarily involved as advisers or instructors. Their on-the-water activities include Sabot sailing and racing, and during cruises, water skiing and dinghy races. PCYC sponsors the Pacific Corinthian Youth Foundation to provide sailing instruction to local youth. Membership in the youth foundation does not require PCYC membership. The youth foundation trains young people to sail, to develop self-esteem, to develop a respect for the environment and the ocean, to learn cooperation, and provides a positive competitive experience.
