Junior Membership
Jr. Membership at CYC is available to those who
want to make boating a part of their life. The Coronado Yacht Club maintains a membership
cap of approximately 600 members. Junior Membership has no cap, and no
waiting list. Youth Sailors who are interested in becoming a Jr. Member should coordinate
the membership process with the Jr. Program Director, or Jr. Office Manager prior to
receiving the membership application packet from the front desk. Parents are strongly
encouraged to follow through the membership process to ensure application is complete.
Paying Junior Members pay a monthly fee. Non-paying Junior Members are sons/daughters
of adult (flag) members and have all the same privileges as paying Junior Members.
Advantages to Junior Membership
CYC Junior Members receive discounts for all
Junior Programs. They receive the monthly CYC newsletter The Whisker Pole and the
annual CYC Yearbook. In addition, they are given a 10% reduction in Flag (adult)
member initiation dues for each year of tenure in good standing as a Junior Member. (See
the CYC Yearbook for specific rules regarding age limits and full time student
situations.) They receive a membership card that can be used to enter other Yacht Clubs
that carry reciprocal privileges with CYC. Deferred Flag status is a benefit that
qualified Jr. Members may request. (See yearbook for complete details.)

Jr. Membership offers many other opportunities. Each year a Jr. Board and Fleet
Captains are elected to help coordinate Jr. events and promote participation (see job
guidelines below). Jr. Members may be part of the Coronado Yacht Club Rod & Reel Club
where they have opportunities to fish and learn how to respect the environment. Jr.
Members can help with our environmental mission to Preserve, Repair, and Enhance
Glorietta Bay.
Several awards are presented to deserving Jr. Members at the annual Trophy Dinner in
November. Recipients can then include this recognition on their resumes.
Non-Members
Youth sailors, whose parents aren’t members
and are not members themselves, are welcome to utilize the club’s facilities during
scheduled junior events and classes. Involvement in the Junior Program alone does not
entitle non-members to any membership privileges. Before and after scheduled classes and
events, the club grounds are for members only.
