CYC Junior
Constitution And By-Laws
At the Annual Meeting of
Dec. 1947, there was established a Junior Division of the Coronado Yacht Club which should
function as a separate unit within the Parent Organization, being guided by the Senior
Club’s Constitution and By-Laws. This Junior Club was formed to give impetus to our
Junior Fleet through allowing them to run their own affairs.
A board of Governors from the Senior Club acts in an advisory
capacity but in no way endeavors to run the Junior Club.
Constitution and By- Laws:
Each year in November, Jr. Officers of the Club
shall be appointed, to consist of a Jr. Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore and
Fleet Captains for Sabot A, Sabot B, Sabot C, Laser, 420, 29er and Jr. Anglers Fleets.
After a full term of office, Jr. Commodores on retiring shall rank as Staff Junior
Commodores.
- These Officers shall constitute a Board of Directors
who will have a voice in the affairs of the Junior Division; subject only to such
necessary conditions the Senior Club may impose.
- A governing committee, appointed by the Senior Club,
and consisting of a minimum of four senior members shall act to assist the Jr. Program,
with ex-officio capacity to attend all meetings, but without the power to vote. They shall
not interfere with the Junior Division’s activities unless called upon to do so by
either the Senior or Junior Commodores or Jr. Director only offering their services where
needed for maintaining sound and progressive policies.
- All members will abide by the rules of the Coronado
Yacht Club, and shall be privileged to have one representative at the Senior Board
meetings without power to vote.
- The Junior Division shall act at all times in
harmony with the Senior Club, and in compliance with yachting traditions.
- All Junior Members shall be eligible for membership,
together with all sons and daughters under the age of twenty-one, of Senior Members.
- Yacht races shall be planned by the Junior Committee
to take place on Saturdays or on any other suitable day that will not interfere with the
Senior Club schedule.
- Whenever a club boat is chartered the one held
responsible by the owner shall be the captain of the boat, whether he or she handles the
tiller or acts as one of the crew.
- No races shall be allowed for a monetary
consideration.
- No one shall be allowed to partake in any sailing
activities unless he or she can swim at least fifty yards, and wears a suitable life
jacket when near the water.
- Junior Board of Directors duties are to be
determined by Junior Program Director and include Opening Day festivities, fundraisers,
work parties and social events.
