History
Now consisting of 107 clubs throughout Northern California, The Pacific Inter-Club Yacht Association was formed in San Francisco, California May 12, 1896, with Charles G. Yale (San Francisco Yacht Club) as its first President. For some time prior to this, the major San Francisco Bay yacht clubs were considering an organization for inter-communication, uniform racing rules and to encourage yachting. The five charter clubs and the year they were founded were: California Y.C. (1893), Corinthian Y.C. (1886), Encinal Y.C. (1890), Pacific Y.C. (1873) and the San Francisco Y.C. (1869). None of the still existing charter clubs has maintained continuous membership in PICYA. South Bay Y.C. founded in 1888 joined PICYA in 1897. The original five star burgee of PICYA is still used today. There was period when a new star was added when a new club joined. However, when eighteen stars were reached this became spatially impractical and the use of five stars was resumed. There is an indication that an adaptation with the two aft stars in the horizontal was used on a special burgee awarded to early placing racers.
