On September 10, the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club (BCYC) in Corona del Mar celebrated its seventh annual gala. The gala benefits from the Bahia Sail Racing Association’s continued support of the Southern California amateur sailing community, including all BCYC sailing and racing programs.
This year’s gala was a huge success with over $60,000 raised from generous BCYC members who provided cash donations, live and silent auction items and raffle items.
It was a fabulous evening with an ice sculpting martini bar sled, flowing champagne, delicious gourmet food and decadent desserts. Live music was provided by Chandra Reese and Tim Whelan of BCYC. The live auction was led by BCYC Staff Commodore Mary Bacon, who always brings comic relief to this annual event.
The Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club was founded in 1958 and celebrates its 64th anniversary this year. The Club offers a family atmosphere where motor or sail boat owners share a first-class facility offering comfortable amenities and a well-rounded calendar of events.
The club was named Club of the Year by the Southern California Yachting Association in 2011, 2008, 2005, 2003, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
BCYC offers meals, socials, cruising events and a year-round junior sailing program. BCYC members enjoy the privileges of yacht clubs worldwide, with reciprocity in yacht clubs worldwide.
