Meet the Fleets

Fleet Captain

Glenn Cross

Glenn spent the last three decades in senior global high-tech sales and marketing roles. Prior a career in high-tech, Glenn had been a boat ranger for the National Park Service patrolling the waters off of Long Island, NY. He and his wife Joan relocated to the Cays from the San Francisco Bay Area where, after 30 years of power boating, they now actively enjoy San Diego's boating lifestyle.



We Love to Race, but We're So Much More!

When one thinks of a yacht club, the image of sailboats typically come to mind. But sailboats are just one part of our fleet which includes powerboats, electric boats, and dinghies.

The Fleet Captain oversees the Power, Sail, and Cruise captains— with major responsibilities for organizing the Opening Day Boat Parade, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, and the Christmas Boat Parade of Lights.

CCYC's sailboat racing proudly boasts more Beer Can races per year then any other yacht club in the San Diego area! Our annual racing calendar combines 24 Beer Can races along with multi-race Classic Series and Twilight Series, and the Solstice and PHRF South Bay races. This schedule offers our members the opportunity to participate in 41 races each year with over 20 members skippering their own boats regularly.

And for those who prefer One Design racing we have a very spirited Harbor 20 fleet.

Coronado Cays Yacht Club's Cruising is a great reason to get your boat off the dock. We sponsor a number of raft-ups each year from near and far (a raft-up is when two or more boats tie together at anchor.) In the past, close to 20 or more Club boats have participated in a CCYC raft-up. The best part of raft-ups is being on your boat with friends, sharing a wonderful time on the water - and lots of food and drink!

Some of CCYC's On-The-Water Activities

  • More than 41 sailboat races each year

  • Multiple boat parades, whale watching and more

  • As many as 5 Raft-ups including 2 at Catalina Island

  • Electric boat scavenger hunts

  • Fishing tournaments
Sail Fleet

Welcome to the CCYC Sail Fleet

Here at the Coronado Cays Yacht Club we have a lot to offer our sailing members. From cruising to racing we have year round fun. South of the Coronado bay bridge is one of the best waters to race in. The wind coming over the Silver Strand into the San Diego Bay provides excellent conditions for racing. For our cruising sailors we have a number of club raft-ups here in San Diego bay and points beyond. These raft-ups are for both sail and power. The goal is to get the most enjoyment from our boats.
